Compliance

FPCO’s Board of Directors adopts a policy of action with the highest priority on compliance, and has therefore established the FPCO Group Action Charter, which sets guidelines on how employees should act and behave, and the FPCO Normative Rules for Compliance, established in accordance with the spirit of the Charter.
The department reports on the status of compliance observance as appropriate during information exchange sessions with directors, executive officers and the representatives of Group companies and also conducts reviews.
With regard to the Group’s compliance initiatives, the Judicial Affairs & Compliance Department conducts compliance-related education and training on an inter-divisional, Group-wide scale, and seeks to instill the FPCO Normative Rules for Compliance in Group employees to ensure that they act with compliance as their top priority.
To ensure thorough compliance within the Group, the Internal Audit Department (which is independent from the Group’s operating divisions and reports directly to the president) conducts an internal audit once every two years. In this way, the Group has constructed an organizational structure that monitors the state of risk management and compliance in the operating divisions, and makes requests for improvement as needed.
