Aiming to Improve the Quality of Business Operations on a Global and Consolidated Basis: The Internal Control Program

摘要

Hamada: In July 2004 we established the Internal Control Committee and started studying the introduction of an internal control program. Part of the background to this move was the need to achieve a firmer footing for our operations. Aggressive moves to expand our business involve increased risks; we wanted to ensure that we could manage these risks successfully and solidify our growth, and for this purpose we saw it as essential to establish a system of constant assessment and ongoing improvement of the state of internal control on a group-wide basis.
