Our line-of-business structure provides a deeper perspective on industry issues.

Financial Services

KPMG has a strong reputation worldwide for the depth and versatility of knowledge and experience in financial services. KPMG AZSA LLC's Financial Services line of business is comprised of Japanese and foreign-certified CPAs, actuaries, and financial analysts, who have extensive background experience in financial services, including banking, securities, insurance and asset management.

We provide a broad array of services including our core audit service, which leverages our professional expertise for the benefit of the financial industry clients and enables knowledge sharing through a central coordinating body, the Financial Headquarters. We also work closely with the member firms of KPMG Japan with resources specialized in asset management advisory and corporate finance advisory services.

Information, Communications & Entertainment (ICE)

Globalization, convergence, fluctuating demand, and rapid technological change are significant business issues for ICE industries such as communications, electronics, media, software, and business services. New business models are forcing clients to develop capabilities beyond their traditional service offerings.

Challenge, however, often brings opportunity. It also fosters a greater appreciation for consistent service and insightful industry-specific knowledge.

KPMG’s ICE professionals are able to add value on both counts. Our ICE professionals view the pace of change as a catalyst for opportunity and draw on KPMG’s deep experience serving many of the industry’s leading companies to provide clients with the latest updates on matters affecting their business and timely strategies to address their changing needs.

Consumer Markets

The Consumer Markets focuses on the dynamic consumer-driven industries. KPMG’s industry approach allows our professionals deep insight into industry trends through broad experience of working with leading organizations, facilitating the delivery of high valueadded audit and advisory services to Consumer Markets clients.

Consumer Markets is coordinated formally on an international basis to ensure cohesion, consistency and an ability to deliver the highest quality of professional services to our clients as they pursue new opportunities and new markets.

Industrial Markets

Industrial Markets companies constantly face challenges adapting to diverse local economies, managing global supply chains, and dealing with risk in a new regulatory environment. Helping companies meet these challenges requires a global perspective and deep industry knowledge such as that offered by KPMG with its line of business approach. We work closely with a number of leading industry organizations to provide the support needed to understand and tackle major issues facing this dynamic and fastchanging industry.

Infrastructure, Government & Healthcare

KPMG AZSA LLC provides a wide range of services through its public sector division, including audits, accounting advisory, accounting system applications, and organizational structuring.
