How to say “items remaining from last meeting”?

Question

I am setting up a meeting agenda and of the items is "covering the items left over from last meeting".

I though something like "前回のミーティングの残件” Would have worked but it turns out that 残件 isn't a word and I have having trouble finding alternatives.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

A Japanese here. 残件 is a totally appropriate word that would be correctly understood in a business setting. But boy, you are right, it's not in the dictionary!

If you insist on finding a word that's in the dictionary, I'd suggest 未決案件 or 未決事項. 未決 and 既決 are often used in a business set up (sometimes you see a box labeled), and 案件/事項 both refer vaguely to a thing, an issue, or a matter, making it usable in a broad context. Plus they are formal enough.
