1．JICPA's Governance Structure
JICPA's governance comprises the General Assembly, which serves as the highest decision making body; the Executive Board and Council, which are responsible for the execution and oversight of operations; a range of advisory committees; and the Board of Corporate Auditors and Self-Regulatory Monitoring Board, which serve as monitoring bodies. External experts participate in bodies where a high degree of transparency is required or where expertise beyond that of CPAs is needed.
2．Officers
The JICPA's officers comprise the chairman and president, deputy presidents, chief executive, executive board members, council members, and corporate auditors. The total number of officers is capped at 90. Officers are primarily CPAs elected among the JICPA's members; however, to ensure the transparency in the management of the organization, a portion of officers are appointed from external experts who are not members. In addition, the chief executive may be appointed either from among CPAs or from external experts.
3．Administrative Office Information
The administrative offices that support the operations of JICPA are staffed by 339 people (213 men and 126 women). Around 20% of those staff members are CPAs, and the rest are made up of attorneys, U.S. CPAs, small and medium-sized enterprise consultants, labor and social security attorneys, and information technology engineers. Moreover, JICPA is promoting female empowerment at its administrative offices, with women making up 20% of management positions(as of March 31, 2026).
