Abstract

Prudential Financial Inc. is establishing committees to investigate employee misconduct within its Japan unit, following over ¥3.1 billion ($19.9 million) in damages to customers. One committee will consist of four lawyers examining the governance issues surrounding the misconduct, while another independent panel will include a former prosecutor and a consumer advocate to decide on damages and reimbursements. The newly appointed president of the Japan unit, Hiromitsu Tokumaru, described the situation as critical, emphasizing the breach of trust inherent in the misconduct. Prudential has also suspended new life insurance sales in Japan, anticipating a significant impact on profits this year, amid a broader context of scandals affecting the Japanese life insurance sector.
