Should Move to a Legally Binding Structure to Prevent Corporate Governance from Becoming a Skeleton

By Aki Matsumoto

  • Cases of illegal transactions by the president of a company from the founding family should be handled in terms of legal violations before corporate governance.
  • If we focus on the issue of corporate governance, the problem is that the board of directors and statutory auditors have failed to fulfill their duties and cross-shareholdings were involved.
  • If corporate governance is not effective in practice, we should at least expect to see improvements in corporate governance practices in organizational forms that are more legally binding.
