Kazumi Yoshikawa
Outside Director, Audit and
Supervisory Committee member
As the market environment changes significantly, the Board of Directors plays a critical role in enhancing corporate value by making swift and appropriate management decisions. To do this, it’s essential to monitor the information that forms the basis of management decisions in a timely and appropriate manner to identify the signs of change at an early stage.
With this in mind, I’ve drawn on my knowledge and experience as a certified public accountant at many companies during their transition into a company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee to improve the transparency and appropriateness of management decisions at the Board of Directors from financial, accounting, and internal control perspectives. I verify from multiple viewpoints the information required for management decisions while taking into account changes in the industry environment, and I continuously check data such as profits and losses by category, channel, and store through reports from the management team. For the implementation of Joshin Reborn Action 2026 as well, I make recommendations to facilitate managerial decision-making based on appropriate information sharing. Furthermore, my work to enhance the succession plan as a member of the Nomination and Compensation Committee will help form a Board of Directors that supports a sustainable increase in corporate value.
