Financial Statements Statistics of Corporations by Industry (Fundamental Statistical Survey) This survey has been conducted every year since 1948 by the Ministry of Finance with the purpose of clarifying the business activities of profit-making corporations and of preparing a list of corporations as the basis for various statistical surveys of corporations. This survey is composed of an annual survey and quarterly survey. The annual survey collects data on the basis of the final closing accounts of the fiscal year from all profit-making corporations. On the other hand, the quarterly survey collects data on the basis of provisional closing accounts of the quarter from profit-making corporations with capital, investment or funds of 10 million yen or over. From fiscal 2008, the finance and insurance industry is also covered. All the corporations with capital of 500 million yen or more (for finance and insurance, 100 million yen or more) are surveyed, while corporations with capital of less than 500 million yen (for finance and insurance, less than 100 million yen) are selected by the random sampling method (equal probability systematic sampling). The annual survey is carried out in the first half of the fiscal year (from April to September) and the second half of the fiscal year (from October to next March), where final closing accounts which were settled during each half year are reported. However, for corporations having biannual closing accounts, their data on assets, liabilities and net assets are obtained from the closing accounts for the second half year, and data on profit and loss are obtained as the sum of the closing accounts for the first and second half year. Business Outlook Survey This survey has been conducted jointly by the Cabinet Office and the Ministry of Finance quarterly with the purpose of obtaining basic information on the present situation and outlook of the economy by analysing the business activities of enterprises which play a major part of the national economy. The scope of this survey is limited to corporations with stated capital, capital contributions, or funds of 10 million yen or more (electricity, gas, water supply, finance, and insurance businesses with stated capital of 100 million yen or more). The survey is conducted quarterly on approximately 14,400 corporations randomly selected by industry and scale of stated capital from the Financial Statements Statistics of Corporations by Industry (all corporations in the case of corporations with stated capital of 3 billion yen or more).
