JICPA External Advisors Committee

Nominating Committee

The JICPA External Advisory Committee is made up of non-CPA outside experts and meets three times a year to provide advice
as needed regarding improvements to the work of CPAs.

Candidates for the position of chairman and president are solicited from among the officers elected by JICPA members. The
Nominating Committee then selects the candidate it views as best suited, whom it recommends to an assembly of the newly
elected officers and, by receiving their confidence, the chairman and president is selected.
The Nominating Committee comprises 16 members, two of whom are non-CPA outside experts. The committee selects candidates to recommend for chairman and president based on dispassionate, objective considerations of important factors, including
candidates’ understanding and awareness of the mission of CPAs and the JICPA’s operations, as well as the individual’s eagerness to concentrate on said operations.
