Other Issues Relating to Major Activities of Outside Board Members
In addition to the outside board members listed above, we have called upon Hiroshi Oura, Senior Executive Advisor of Advantest
Corporation, to fill the role of an outside board member in strengthening management oversight. However, since he was once a
member of the board, he does not meet the legal definition of an outside board member under Japan’s Company Law. Fujitsu Limited
has business dealings with Advantest.
In fiscal 2007, there were nineteen regularly scheduled or special meetings of the Board of Directors, and the three outside board
members, including Hiroshi Oura, had an attendance rate of approximately 95%.
[Board of Auditors]
Existence of Board of Auditors: Yes
Number of Auditors: 5
Coordination between Auditors and Accounting Auditors
The auditors meet with the accounting auditors during three regularly scheduled meetings each year to exchange information and advice
and reach mutual understanding regarding important audit issues, risk evaluations relating to internal control audits, and other matters.
Coordination between Auditors and Internal Auditing Division
The auditors receive reports on the audit system and audit plans from the Corporate Internal Audit Division at the start of each report-
ing period. Then, during the period, the auditors get reports on the results of internal audits and exchange information and advice to
reach mutual understanding with the Corporate Internal Audit Division.
Appointment of Outside Auditors to the Board of Auditors: Yes
Number of Outside Auditors: 3
