解説
問 12
Incorrectア
A loss caused by a major fluctuation in exchange rates is a case of exchange-rate risk (market risk), not an act that violates laws or ethics, so it is not a case of compliance.
Incorrectイ
Losing market share because deregulation increased the number of market entrants is a competition risk (business risk) arising from a change in the market environment; the company did not violate any law, so it is not a case of compliance.
Incorrectウ
A decrease in marginal profit due to soaring raw material prices is a price risk (management risk) caused by cost fluctuation, unrelated to any legal violation, so it is not a case of compliance.
- エ
正解 Compliance means the observance of laws and regulations, that is, a company obeys laws, rules, social norms, and corporate ethics. In choice エ, falsifying quality data is a wrongful act that deceives consumers and business partners and violates quality-related laws and internal company standards; the recall triggered when it comes to light is exactly a case of violating compliance (observance of laws and regulations). Therefore エ is the most appropriate.
ここがポイント
- Compliance = observance of laws and regulations. It means a company obeys laws, rules, social norms, and corporate ethics. Wrongful acts such as data falsification, accounting fraud, and information leakage are typical examples of compliance violations.
- Exchange-rate fluctuation, intensified competition, and soaring raw material prices are management risks (market and business risks), and should be distinguished from compliance issues, which involve legal violations.
