Auditor - Kanji

Japanese: 監事 - かんじ
Auditor - Kanji

An institution within a corporation that supervises the directors' execution of affairs (Civil Code, Article 59). A corporation may have one or more auditors, but unlike directors, they are not required institutions and may be appointed through the articles of incorporation, donation deeds, or a resolution of the general meeting (Civil Code, Article 58). In corporations established under special laws, auditors are usually appointed (Agricultural Cooperative Law, Article 30, etc.). The Civil Code stipulates the duties of an auditor as follows: (1) auditing the corporation's assets, (2) auditing the directors' execution of business, (3) reporting any irregularities found in the status of assets or the execution of business to the general meeting or the competent authorities, and (4) convening a general meeting when necessary to make the above reports (Civil Code, Article 59). In a company, they are called auditors.
