監査する 30秒了解
- A formal verb meaning 'to audit' in a professional or financial context.
- Used primarily for official inspections of companies, government agencies, or accounts.
- Differs from casual 'checking' (kakunin) or general 'investigation' (chōsa).
- Essential for business Japanese, corporate law, and accounting discussions.
The Japanese verb 監査する (kansa suru) is a formal term primarily used in professional, legal, and financial contexts. It translates most directly to the English verb 'to audit.' While in casual English we might use 'audit' to describe checking something thoroughly, in Japanese, kansa suru carries a heavy weight of officiality. It refers to the systematic and independent examination of books, accounts, statutory records, documents, and vouchers of an organization to ascertain how far the financial statements as well as non-financial disclosures present a true and fair view of the concern.
- Core Concept
- The act of verifying compliance and accuracy within a corporate or governmental structure.
- Etymology
- Composed of 監 (kan - to oversee/supervise) and 査 (sa - to investigate/check). Together, they imply a high-level oversight coupled with a detailed investigation.
公認会計士が企業の財務諸表を監査することは、市場の透明性を保つために不可欠です。(It is essential for CPAs to audit corporate financial statements to maintain market transparency.)
You will encounter this word most frequently in business news, annual reports, and discussions regarding corporate governance. It is not a word you would use for checking your homework or looking over a grocery list; for those, you would use 確認する (kakunin suru) or チェックする (chekku suru). Kansa suru implies that the person doing the checking is an authority figure or an independent third party, such as an auditor (監査役 - kansayaku) or a CPA (公認会計士 - kōnin kaikeishi).
In a broader sense, 監査する can also apply to operational audits or safety audits (安全監査). However, the financial connotation remains the strongest. In Japanese corporate law, every 'Kabushiki Kaisha' (Stock Company) of a certain size is required to have its accounts audited. Thus, the verb is central to the very structure of Japanese capitalism. Understanding this word helps learners navigate the 'Business Japanese' landscape, providing a window into how Japanese organizations maintain order and trust.
内部監査チームが、全部署の経理処理を監査する予定です。(The internal audit team is scheduled to audit the accounting processes of all departments.)
- Register
- Highly formal (Katamari-go). Primarily used in writing and formal speech.
In summary, 監査する is the tool of the watchdog. It is the verb of verification, used when the stakes are high and the need for accuracy is legally or professionally mandated. Whether it's a government agency auditing a non-profit or a global firm auditing its subsidiaries, this word signifies a deep, authoritative dive into records to ensure everything is above board.
Using 監査する (kansa suru) requires an understanding of its transitive nature. It typically takes a direct object—the thing being audited—marked by the particle を (wo). Common objects include 財務諸表 (financial statements), 会計 (accounts), 業務 (operations), or 組織 (organizations).
- Grammar Pattern
- [Subject] が [Object] を 監査する。
Example: 税務署がその会社を監査する。(The tax office audits that company.)
Because this is a suru-verb, it follows standard conjugation patterns. In formal business reports, you will often see it in the passive voice: 監査される (kansa sareru). This focuses the sentence on the entity undergoing the audit rather than the auditor. For example, 'The company was audited' becomes '会社が監査された'.
この報告書は、外部の専門家によって厳格に監査されたものです。(This report was strictly audited by an external expert.)
When describing the purpose of an audit, you can use the structure ～ために監査する (audit in order to...). This is common when explaining the 'why' behind the action, such as 'to ensure compliance' (法令遵守を確認するために監査する). Furthermore, the noun form 監査 (kansa) is frequently used in compound nouns, such as 監査法人 (kansa hōjin - audit firm) or 監査役 (kansayaku - auditor/audit governor).
In a sentence describing a continuous state or a scheduled event, the te-iru form is used: 監査している. For example, 'They are currently auditing the books' (現在、帳簿を監査している). If you want to sound even more formal, especially in written documents, you might use the humble or honorific versions, though in standard business reporting, the neutral desu/masu or da/dearu forms are preferred for objectivity.
不適切な会計処理がないか、徹底的に監査する必要があります。(It is necessary to audit thoroughly to see if there are any inappropriate accounting treatments.)
Finally, consider the adverbial modifiers. Words like 厳格に (genkaku ni - strictly), 定期的に (teikiteki ni - periodically), and 抜き打ちで (nukiuchi de - without notice/spot check) frequently accompany 監査する. These modifiers define the nature and intensity of the audit process, which is crucial in a professional setting where the methodology is as important as the result.
You are most likely to hear 監査する (kansa suru) in environments where accountability is paramount. If you work in a Japanese office, particularly in the accounting (経理 - keiri), legal (法務 - hōmu), or compliance departments, this word will be a regular part of your vocabulary. During the 'Audit Season' in Japan (usually following the March fiscal year-end), the word is ubiquitous in business districts like Marunouchi or Otemachi.
- News Media
- NHK News and Nikkei Shimbun frequently report on '監査' when major corporations face scandals or when the government conducts '会計検査' (Board of Audit) investigations into public spending.
In television dramas, particularly those centered around corporate intrigue (like the famous 'Hanzawa Naoki'), the arrival of the 'auditors' is a high-tension moment. When a character says, '金融庁の監査が入る' (The Financial Services Agency is coming in for an audit), it signals a moment of extreme danger for the protagonists. Here, 監査する represents the power of the state or the central bank to uncover hidden wrongdoings.
明日は、いよいよ外部監査人が来社して、我々のプロジェクトを監査する日だ。(Tomorrow is finally the day the external auditors come to our office to audit our project.)
You will also hear this word in the context of international standards. With the rise of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investing, companies are now being 監査される on their carbon emissions and labor practices. In these meetings, you might hear phrases like 'サステナビリティ報告書を監査する' (audit the sustainability report). This shows that the word is evolving beyond just 'money' to encompass 'responsibility' in the broadest sense.
University students majoring in business or law will hear this word in lectures regarding the 'Companies Act' (会社法 - Kaishahō). They learn about the duties of the auditor and the legal repercussions if a company fails to be 監査される properly. Thus, for many young professionals, the word is associated with their professional licensing exams (like the CPA exam).
政府は、助成金が正しく使われているか監査する方針を固めた。(The government has firmed up its policy to audit whether subsidies are being used correctly.)
In summary, 監査する is a word of the 'public sphere.' It is heard in boardrooms, courthouses, newsrooms, and high-stakes TV dramas. It carries an aura of seriousness and the weight of truth-seeking.
For English speakers, the most common mistake is using 監査する (kansa suru) too broadly. In English, 'audit' can be used informally (e.g., 'I'm going to audit my closet and throw away old clothes'). In Japanese, using kansa suru for such a trivial task would sound bizarre and unintentionally hilarious. It would be like saying, 'I am going to conduct a formal statutory inspection of my wardrobe.'
- Mistake 1: Confusing with 'Check'
- Using 'kansa suru' instead of 'kakunin suru' (confirm) or 'checku suru' (check) for everyday tasks.
- Mistake 2: Confusing with 'Investigation'
- Using 'kansa suru' when you mean 'chōsa suru' (investigate/research). 'Kansa' is about verification against standards, 'chōsa' is about finding out new information.
Another frequent error is the confusion between 監査 (kansa) and 鑑賞 (kanshō). While they sound somewhat similar to a beginner's ear, kanshō means 'appreciation' (as in art or music). Telling your boss you want to 'kanshō' the financial statements might suggest you want to admire their beauty rather than check them for errors! Similarly, 感謝 (kansha) means 'gratitude.' Do not 'thank' the books when you mean to 'audit' them.
❌ 宿題を監査する。
✅ 宿題を確認する。
(Audit homework vs. Check homework)
Grammatically, learners sometimes forget that kansa is the noun and kansa suru is the verb. In English, 'audit' is both. In Japanese, you cannot say '監査を会社'—it must be '会社を監査する' or '会社の監査をする'. The particle usage is vital for clarity. Also, be careful with 審査 (shinsa). Shinsa is 'screening' or 'judging' (like a credit card application or a contest). Kansa is checking something that has already happened for accuracy.
Lastly, avoid using it in the 'university audit' sense. In English, you can 'audit a class' (attend without credit). In Japanese, this is called 聴講する (chōkō suru). If you tell a Japanese professor you want to kansa suru their class, they might think you are a government official there to inspect their teaching credentials and syllabus for legal compliance!
Understanding the synonyms and related terms for 監査する (kansa suru) is essential for precise communication. Japanese has many 'checking' words, each with a specific 'vibe' and domain.
- 検査する (Kensa suru)
- To inspect or examine. Used for physical objects (products in a factory) or medical tests (blood test). It is more 'physical' than 'audit'.
- 点検する (Tenken suru)
- To inspect for maintenance. Used for elevators, cars, or fire extinguishers. It's about safety and keeping things working.
- 審査する (Shinsa suru)
- To screen or judge. Used for applications (visas, credit cards) or competitions. It's about deciding if someone/something qualifies.
When should you choose 監査する over 調査する (chōsa suru)? Use chōsa when the goal is to gather information or conduct research (e.g., a market survey). Use kansa when you are verifying that information against a set of rules or laws. For example, a 'tax investigation' is 税務調査 (zeimu chōsa) because they are looking for information, but the 'Board of Audit' is 会計検査院 (kaikei kensain)—oddly using kensa but performing the role of kansa. Note that in government, terminology can sometimes overlap.
Comparison:
1. データを確認する (Confirm the data - casual)
2. データを分析する (Analyze the data - scientific)
3. データを監査する (Audit the data - legal/financial)
In a legal context, you might see 照合する (shōgō suru), which means 'to collate' or 'to check against'. This is a specific action often done *during* an audit. For example, 'auditors collate receipts with the ledger' (監査人が領収書と元帳を照合する). Also, 査察する (sasatsu suru) is a much more aggressive form of inspection, often used for surprise raids by tax authorities or weapons inspectors.
If you are looking for a more general business term for 'reviewing,' 検討する (kentō suru) is very common, meaning 'to consider' or 'to look into.' However, if the context is specifically about checking for errors and compliance, 監査する remains the only appropriate choice. It is the king of the 'compliance' vocabulary family.
How Formal Is It?
趣味小知识

Passive Voice
Remember that 'kansa sareru' is very common because audits are often something that happens *to* a company.
Precision
Don't confuse 'kansa' with 'kensa.' If you are checking a machine, it's 'kensa.' If you are checking a ledger, it's 'kansa.'
Nuance
Using 'kansa' with a friend might sound like you are being overly suspicious of them. Stick to 'kakunin' for social situations.
Stroke Order
Pay attention to the 'eye' radical in 'kan.' It helps you remember that auditing is about 'watching' over things.
News Reading
Look for this word in the business section of Japanese newspapers to see how it's used in real-world scandals or reports.
Job Titles
If you are applying for a job in finance, knowing 'kansayaku' and 'naibu kansa' is essential.
The 'Kan' Rule

Word Web
挑战
Try to use 'kansa suru' in a sentence about your own bank account, then explain why it sounds too formal for that context.
词源
Borrowed from Chinese characters (Kanji). 'Kan' (監) originally meant a large vessel of water used as a mirror to oversee one's appearance, evolving to mean 'oversee.' 'Sa' (査) means to investigate or look into.
原始含义： To oversee and investigate for the purpose of maintaining order.
Sino-Japanese (Kango).文化背景
Be careful using this word with small business owners; it can imply you suspect they are doing something illegal.
In English, 'audit' can be a noun or verb. In Japanese, 'kansa' is strictly a noun until 'suru' is added.

Summary
監査する (kansa suru) is the definitive Japanese term for 'to audit.' It implies a formal, authoritative, and systematic verification of financial or operational records to ensure legal and professional compliance. Example: 外部監査人が財務諸表を監査する (External auditors audit the financial statements).
- A formal verb meaning 'to audit' in a professional or financial context.
- Used primarily for official inspections of companies, government agencies, or accounts.
- Differs from casual 'checking' (kakunin) or general 'investigation' (chōsa).
- Essential for business Japanese, corporate law, and accounting discussions.
Business Context
Always use 'kansa suru' when referring to official corporate reviews. It shows you understand professional terminology.
Passive Voice
Remember that 'kansa sareru' is very common because audits are often something that happens *to* a company.
Precision
Don't confuse 'kansa' with 'kensa.' If you are checking a machine, it's 'kensa.' If you are checking a ledger, it's 'kansa.'
Nuance
Using 'kansa' with a friend might sound like you are being overly suspicious of them. Stick to 'kakunin' for social situations.
