Governance
The company transitioned to a company with three committees (nomination, compensation, and audit) in 2003. The board consists of seven directors (four internal and three outside), and outside directors hold a majority on each of the three committees—nomination, compensation, and audit—clearly separating management oversight from business execution.
Risk Management
The company has established Risk Management Regulations and set up a Risk Management Committee within the Management Meeting. It has developed a risk response framework for each school and administrative department, building a system in which, in the event of a significant risk occurring, executive officers promptly report to the Board of Directors.
