As a BPM (Business Process Management) software developer, we are highly interested in our own business processes and are aware of the importance of transparency in our corporate governance system. Although Questetra is still relatively young, it was founded as a "Company with Committees" under the Company Law of Japan, which requires separation of a supervising function from the execution function. The law also requires the following organizational entities to be installed:
The Board of Directors makes decisions regarding fundamental issues and supervises the management of business operations. The Board also appoints or dismisses Board Committee members and Executive Officers.
