At first glance, it seems that external committee members are taking a strict stance towards companies, but it appears that a clever rationale is being employed to avoid individual legal accountability. There are instances where, when a legal expert is involved as the chairperson and expresses their legal opinion, factual determinations and legal evaluations seem to take on a life of their own without being subject to judicial review. We will analyze whether the report was created solely for the benefit of the company, and if necessary, we will prepare a rebuttal.

Fraudulent acts refer to actions taken intentionally to reduce one’s own assets, preventing creditors from receiving legitimate payments.

The purposes and aims of establishing a third-party committee by companies or organizations that have caused scandals are as follows: 1. Ensuring independence and neutrality: The establishment of a third-party committee allows for the maintenance of independence and neutrality. It helps avoid biases and conflicts of interest from stakeholders within the company, enabling fair investigations and evaluations. 2. Enhancing reliability and transparency: The presence of a third-party committee plays a role in increasing the reliability and transparency of the company or organization. Involvement of independent external experts and knowledgeable individuals demonstrates the fairness and objectivity of the investigations and evaluations to stakeholders. 3. Clarifying issues and proposing improvements: The third-party committee thoroughly investigates the causes and circumstances of the scandal, clarifying the essence of the problem. Based on this, it can propose improvement and preventive measures to the company or organization, pointing out issues and potential improvements that may be difficult to notice internally, thus aiding in preventing recurrence. 4. Protecting stakeholder interests: The third-party committee places importance on protecting the interests of stakeholders. It considers the rights and interests of those affected by the scandal and proposes appropriate compensation and corrective measures.

Establishment service of a third-party committee led by lawyers (former judges, former prosecutors) We will set up a fair, impartial, and straightforward third-party committee in accordance with guidelines from organizations such as the Japan Federation of Bar Associations. The purpose is not for "public shaming," but rather to improve and reform within the organization. Generally, this service incurs high costs, but our company will implement it while maintaining the same content and reducing expenses. In principle, interviews are the domain of "investigation companies," and lawyers are not suitable for investigations. While the guidelines from organizations like the Japan Federation of Bar Associations emphasize the importance of avoiding "bias," the limitations of their investigative methods lead to inconsistencies in the investigation's content. They are merely focused on maintaining fairness and impartiality.
