解説
問 1
Incorrectア
This describes corporate governance. It refers to a mechanism by which shareholders and others monitor and inspect whether managers are running the company appropriately. It is “a mechanism on the side that supervises management,” so its viewpoint differs from compliance management, in which the company itself observes the law in its own activities.
Incorrectイ
This describes accountability. It refers to the duty to explain the content and performance of business activities to shareholders and other stakeholders. Its core is “giving an explanation,” and it says nothing about building mechanisms for observing laws, regulations, and social norms.
- ウ
正解 The correct answer is ウ. Compliance means “observing laws and regulations,” and compliance management is a management stance of carrying out corporate activities while obeying laws and the rules of society. Choice ウ states three things: the foundation of “based on corporate ethics,” the mechanism building of “establishes rules, manuals, checking systems, and so on,” and the goal of “conducts corporate activities that comply with laws, regulations, and social norms.” That is exactly the definition of compliance management. The key points are that what must be observed includes not only laws and regulations but also social norms (common sense and morals in society), and that it must not stop at slogans but be turned into concrete mechanisms such as rules and checking systems.
Incorrectエ
This describes IR (Investor Relations). It refers to public-relations activity that provides investors and analysts, in a timely and continuous manner, with the management information they need for investment decisions. Its audience is limited to investors and it is an information-providing activity, so it is a different concept from management aimed at observing the law.
ここがポイント
- Compliance management = management that observes laws and regulations. With corporate ethics as its foundation, the company establishes mechanisms such as rules, manuals, and checking systems, and conducts its activities in accordance with not only laws and regulations but also social norms.
- Tell confusing management terms apart by “whom it is aimed at and what it does”: corporate governance = shareholders and others monitor management; accountability = the duty to explain to stakeholders; IR = providing information to investors; compliance = observing laws, regulations, and social norms.
