Utilizing the Enterprise Architecture (EA) framework promoted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Fuji Xerox developed propriety risk assessment techniques. Further, the creation of an implementation plan and an independent operational system within a six-month period facilitated the swift attainment of the certifications.

Additionally, Fuji Xerox provided education for 662 internal auditors so that the company could operate under an integrated auditing system.
