Common questions
Why does adverse media matter for firms operating in Japan?
Fraud is a leading source of criminal proceeds in Japan. The FSA reported online and telephone scam damage of JPY 325.7 billion in 2025, and named crypto-assets, stablecoins and online casinos as emerging risks for firms to track.
Which sources and languages are covered?
Source and language coverage varies. Talk to our team about the Japanese and international media your review needs, and we will confirm what is available for your use case.
How is a result reviewed and recorded?
Each result is categorised by risk, and the reviewer's conclusion, reason and the underlying article are kept with the case, so the decision can be explained later.
How is this different from the global adverse media page?
The product is the same. This page covers how it applies to organisations in Japan: the fraud-driven risk picture, Japanese name handling and review evidence. The global page describes the product for every market.
