Kansayaku Boards vs Audit Committees
On March 6, 2014, ACGA spoke at a seminar in Tokyo organised to discuss our paper, "The Roles and Functions of Kansayaku Boards Compared to Audit Committees", published in October 2013. The event was co-organised by the Board Director Training Institute (BDTI) of Japan and Hitotsubashi University. It was held at the Nagashima Ohno & Tsunematsu Law Firm. A distinguished panel then debated the issues raised. Speakers included:
- Mr. Sumitaka Fujita, Former Vice Chairman, ITOCHU Corporation
- Mr. Soichiro Uno, Partner, Nagashima Ohno & Tsunematsu Law Firm
- Mr. Nicholas Benes, Representative Director, BDTI (and co-author of the ACGA Paper)
- Dr. Bruce Aronson, Professor of Law, Hitotsubashi Graduate School of International Corporate Strategy
