Kansai Electric Power Co., Ltd. receipt of goods Contents of in-house investigation October 1, 4:56 without reporting to the Board of Directors
Due to the problem that executives of Kansai Electric Power received over 300 million yen in opaque goods, the company did not report the contents of the internal investigation compiled last year to the Board of Directors, but also an internal committee on compliance, etc. I understood that I did not go through. This is a form of inadequate risk management system.
Kansai Electric Power Co., Ltd. has revealed that 20 people, including the chairman and president, received a total of 320 million yen of money from former assistants in Takahama-cho, Fukui, where Kansai Electric Power's nuclear power plant is located.
This is the result of an investigation conducted by an investigative committee consisting of outside lawyers from July to September last year.
However, according to the people concerned, the company did not report this survey to the board of directors.
He also did not go through internal committees on compliance and risk management.
Committees such as compliance are organizations that share risk information and provide guidance / advice when violations of laws and regulations, such as fraudulent accounting and information leaks, are found, but they are not functioning.
As a result, until the press conference was held on the 27th of last month, the contents of the in-house survey were only known by a few executives, and the risk management system was inadequate.
Kansai Electric Power will hold a press conference on the afternoon of the 2nd due to the criticism of corporate attitudes that are reluctant to disclose information.
