コンプライアンスとコーポレートガバナンスに関する近時の動向 (グローバリゼーションへの対応)

抄録

Aim of this manuscripte Being triggered by undesirable incidences and corporate collapses due to inadequate supervisory systems, some corporations in our country, such as Sony, have started to establish compliance systems, including the preparation by their in-house counsels of the manuals and/or the procedures to be observed within the corporations. Concurrently, the enhancement of shareholders' consciousness and the improvement of the efficiency of the management, resulting from entry into Japanese markets of foreign corporations, have made these corporations, as the corporate govenance, put into practice innovations of their boards of directors systems and/or introductions of executive administrator systems,management meetings and professional advisory commitees for board meetings etc. This manuscript is to review the concrete institutionalization of corporations by referring to the specific problems within the corporations that have introduced in-house counsels and the activities on the corporate governance guideline in OECD.
