Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) with Japanese companies present various risks for foreign entities. A thorough risk assessment of the target company or business is crucial to the success of any M&A transaction. At RSM Shiodome Partners, we offer comprehensive due diligence services to mitigate these risks, ensuring a smooth and successful transaction.

Financial due diligence is a critical component of any M&A process. Our team conducts a comprehensive investigation to understand the target company's financial health, profitability, and potential risks. This includes scrutinizing assets and liabilities, assessing normalized profitability, and evaluating the level of net debt.

In addition to financial due diligence, we also conduct tax due diligence to identify any potential tax risks or liabilities associated with the target company. Our team of tax experts thoroughly assesses the company's past tax history and current tax positions.

Labor due diligence focuses on the "people" aspect of the target company. Our team investigates employee working patterns, work hour management, labor regulations and procedures, liabilities, disputes, occupational safety and health, and any issues related to the Labor Standards Inspection Office.

Human resources due diligence delves into the qualitative aspects of the target company's workforce. This includes evaluating management philosophy and strategy, organizational structure and employee composition, systems and processes, welfare and employment conditions, legal compliance, and overall organizational culture.

We offer a comprehensive suite of due diligence services tailored to your specific needs. Our team of experienced professionals, including certified public accountants, certified public tax accountants and social insurance labor consultants, collaborates to provide you with a thorough and accurate assessment of the target company.
