Securities and Annual Reports

English ⇔ Japanese translations of annual and interim reports, securities reports, quarterly results, quarterly reports, income statements, balance sheets and other financial statements.

Terms used in securities and annual reports, quarterly results and reports, income statements, balance sheets and other types of financial statements are highly industry-specific and it is impossible to translate them precisely without a solid background in accounting.
Because concepts and meanings of terminology and accounting terms used in these types of documents are specific to their respective areas, they cannot be translated using everyday language. Differences between terms with similar meanings cannot be correctly distinguished unless a translator knows the correct accounting terminology. Translators therefore need to have extensive knowledge in the GAAP of both the English speaking country and Japan.

Almost all professional, academic and government organizations produce securities or annual reports. Securities and annual reports are documents giving detailed information about the activities and performance of the company or organisation, etc. Annual reports of private or public companies are published to educate current and potential shareholders about company activities and performance and contain a company's financial highlights, profit and loss statements, balance sheets, new business, business review and future projections, etc.

In Japan, securities reports are filed with the Financial Services Agency of the Japanese government electronically in a system called EDINET short for Electronic Disclosure for Investor's Network which is an electronic filing system for disclosure of documents at the end of each fiscal year under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act of Japan. Companies which publically trade on the stock exchange, companies required to file securities registration statements and other companies are subject to the obligation to submit reports. Many among them have foreign investors, or intend to establish overseas branches or require a translated version of their securities reports for certain other reasons.

Annual reports are fundamental to creating and sustaining a company’s reputation and can strongly affect market perception. The effort that goes into your report and to the accurate translation thereof reflects the dedication you have to your clients and is a sophisticated aspect of investor relations.

Quarterly Results and Reports

Quarterly results or quarterly reports are reports which are submitted in timely manner to investors, etc. to inform them of the status of the business of the company each quarter. Being that securities reports which cover a full 12 month period are rather lengthy, quarterly reports provide a shorter and early overview of the contents in the securities reports and timeliness tends to be important in the translation of these quarterly reports.
