Three internal audit personnel, reporting directly to the President, audit all departments annually.

Dividend Policy
The basic policy is to aim for a market-average payout ratio while prioritizing retained earnings for growth strategy investment. Dividends are paid once a year (year-end dividend only). The articles of incorporation stipulate that dividends of surplus may be determined by resolution of the Board of Directors. For FY2026 (ending May 2026), the dividend is ¥20 per share (total dividends of ¥46 million, payout ratio of 20.6%, dividend on equity ratio of 2.1%). For FY2027 (ending May 2027), a dividend of ¥20 per share is also planned (forecast payout ratio of 18.8%).
ESG
With the corporate philosophy of "being a company that fulfills people's wishes," the company positions solving social issues through support for medical and welfare service providers at the core of its sustainability efforts. The Representative Director and President is ultimately responsible for sustainability issues. The company is working to promote diversity, with 1 female executive, 3 female managers/supervisors, and 2 employees of foreign nationality, but due to the small organizational scale (66 employees, average length of service of 1.3 years), it has not yet reached the stage of setting quantitative indicators and targets.
