Advisory for Insurance Companies

[Team introduction]
Insurance Advisory Group (IAG) provides a wide range of advisory services to insurance companies as our main clients
. IAG's business areas are expanding due to changes, an increase in cross-border projects for insurance companies, and responses to sustainability-related regulations.

Recently, support for compliance with various accounting standards such as international accounting standards, support for enhancement of internal control In addition, we have had the opportunity to provide services such as support for the establishment of insurance companies and support for considering initiatives in the sustainability field (e.g. materiality assessment, human rights due diligence, ESG investment).

In order to respond to the diversifying agenda of insurance companies, we need to recruit not only accountants but also diverse staff with non-accounting skills such as experience in insurance business practice and project management experience. On the other hand, in order to respond to IAG 's expanding business domain, we believe that it is urgent to recruit members with experience in various fields.

The difference between audit firm advisory services and general consulting companies is that we can provide advisory services based on a deep understanding of business processes that can be obtained through audit services for various companies in the same industry. Audit firms are subject to strict control over the content of their work and the quality control of the services they provide under the Certified Public Accountant Act, etc.

Experiencing a high-quality service provision process based on this method, rather than one's own style, is a valuable experience as a consultant. There is an aspect that nourishes integrity and flexibility.
