第三百三十八条(会計監査人の任期)

A financial auditor's term of office continues until the conclusion of the annual shareholders meeting for the last business year which ends within one year from the time of their election.

会計監査人の任期は、選任後一年以内に終了する事業年度のうち最終のものに関する定時株主総会の終結の時までとする。

Unless otherwise resolved at the annual shareholders meeting under the preceding paragraph, financial auditors are deemed to have been re-elected at relevant annual shareholders meeting.

会計監査人は、前項の定時株主総会において別段の決議がされなかったときは、当該定時株主総会において再任されたものとみなす。

Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding two paragraphs, in cases where a company with financial auditor makes any amendment in the articles of incorporation to repeal the provisions of the articles of incorporation to the effect that it has a financial auditor, the financial auditor's term of office expires when relevant amendment in the articles of incorporation takes effect.

前二項の規定にかかわらず、会計監査人設置会社が会計監査人を置く旨の定款の定めを廃止する定款の変更をした場合には、会計監査人の任期は、当該定款の変更の効力が生じた時に満了する。
