Japan’s FSA pushes for stronger internal audits in crypto exchanges

The Financial Services Agency has released its 2024 monitoring report, urging better internal audits and closer scrutiny of crypto exchanges. Japan’s financial regulator has called for stronger internal audits across the entire financial sector, highlighting the need for better oversight, especially for crypto exchanges. In a Dec. 26 press release , the Financial Services Agency said it plans to update its “Current Situation and Issues” guidelines, bringing new auditing measures to comply with international trends. As part of its efforts to enhance audit standards, the FSA will also hold a “Roundtable on the Improvement of Internal Audits at Financial Institutions” in late January 2025.
