Description	Corporate governance has been a matter of contention in many countries in 1990s and 2000s. In recent discussions on corporate governance, not only sound and fair management, but also efficient management have tended to be emphasised. For these reasons, amendments have been made to the Commercial Code and the Audit Special Exceptions Law in Japan in 2002. In this seminar, after explaining the history and the existing system of Japanese corporate governance in brief, the company law reform on corporate governance in 2002 will be analysed.
