On Japanese Shareholding Companies' Supervision System

The supervision system is an important component part of corporation governance in Japan. In an evolutionary process of over a century, the Japanese commercial legislation has absorbed the related institutions in both the Continental Law and the Common Law, forming its own rather unique corporation supervision system. The commercial legislation of Japan, concerning the appointment of supervisors, the power of supervisors and the obligations and duties of them, has laid down various relevant regulations, forming a sound inner supervision system. The supervision system of Japanese shareholding companies can provide us with many useful lessons concerning the perfection of the Chinese supervision system.
