As a member firm of KPMG, KPMG FAS Group swiftly and accurately fulfills client needs using its extensive resources and experience. We respond to each situation with professional skill, deeply versed in all industries, and informed by keen insight into markets and social trends. We engage our restructuring, corporate finance, transaction services, forensic and business performance services to help our client companies move to the next growth stage.
Our restructuring division provides advisory services for corporate and business revitalization and recovery and has contributed to a large number of corporate restructurings. We apply our experience to provide financial and operational restructuring advisory services to guide companies into a business recovery that leads to sustainable growth and to formulate strategic initiatives and support strategy implementation to move companies into a new stage of growth. We are also at the forefront of strategy creation to meet the expanding needs of corporate real estate, and we were the first to assemble a Japanese advisory team dedicated to assisting hospitality industry companies to form key strategies for establishing the unique company profiles that are essential in that industry. Our advisory services for corporate real estate and hospitality include strategic planning, arrange asset financing, and furnish advice from diverse perspectives.
Our corporate finance division has been a pioneer among Japanese M&A advisory firms since the late 1980s, before M&A became prevalent in Japan, and has provided valuable advisory and other services in numerous successful acquisitions and other organizational transactions. M&A and other organizational transactions are indispensable strategies for today's businesses, yet executing these complex endeavors involves a wide range of complex procedures and critical decisions. Our advisory teams of professionals with extensive experience and highly specialized knowledge provide support and solutions for the complex and diverse needs of our clients.
Our transaction services division performs the essential due diligence to assess potential transaction risk, evaluate corporate and business worth, and structure the transaction. Our advice on the transaction structure and transaction contract lays the foundation and provides support for a successful transaction. We focus on the risk areas of the target company or business and provide strategic due diligence and overall transaction advice to support important decisions from the buyer's or seller's perspective, such as the analysis of the past and present status of the company and evaluation of potential business and synergy effects.
Our forensic division provides advisory services to prevent, detect, and respond to issues that compromise corporate integrity, such as corporate fraud, illegal activities, and information leaks. These have become critical management issues in recent years. The fraud assessment program draws on our extensive experience to identify the risk of fraudulent corporate activities. KPMG's forensic team applies the most up-to-date IT and assessment methods to quickly and accurately discover evidence and submits its analysis to clients. Also, the team proposes resolution or reform countermeasures.
Our business performance services division provides an objective assessment and view of your issues. Instead of offering “templatized” solutions, we respond to your problem by carefully mining and analyzing the specific data and details of your organization, informed by our deep experience in your industry. From analysis to execution, we assist organizations across core drivers of change. Our competencies bridge the disciplines of finance and operations to offer a broad business perspective with deep functional and process skills-in finance, operations, technology, HR, change management, risk management and controls-to understand and address your challenges. We employ a collaborative and team-oriented work style, an approach that helps you maintain the appropriate involvement and promotes the transfer of knowledge back to your organization's personnel.
