This event challenged directors to consider how their actions could manage or prevent serious risk and offered resources to improve oversight. The event also discussed challenges unique to Japan, including:

• Low awareness of the concept of a monitoring board.

• Lack of majority board independence.

• Outside directors not receiving timely updates.

• Excessive deliberation before decisions are made.

• Lack of sophistication in collecting information using GRC software.
