Dispatch of company executives

　Due to recent amendments to the Companies Act, corporate governance is becoming increasingly important, and the importance of outside directors, outside auditors, and other outside officers is increasing.

　Not only for listed companies, Even among non-listed companies, an increasing number are appointing outside directors, based on the belief that effectively utilizing them is an appropriate and effective way to ensure sound management.

　Corporate scandals (such as window dressing and misrepresentation) caused by a lack of ethics and a sense of responsibility among management and employees have a significant impact not only on the company’s personnel but also on society as a whole, including stakeholders such as customers, consumers, and shareholders.
