[Webinar] Update: Revisiting Damages under U.S. Patents for Foreign Conduct Part 1
2024/ 11/ 6[Real Seminar] Update on crisis management response in corporate scandals: Building a crisis management system with soul - Part 2
2024/ 11/ 12November 2024, 10 (Thursday) Co-sponsored by Tokyo International Law Office / FRONTEO
Overview
In recent years, with a never-ending stream of corporate scandals, the nature of corporate crisis management responses is being questioned anew. When a scandal occurs, how should a company act and regain trust? This seminar will be divided into two parts: a lecture (first and second halves) and a discussion. The lecture will provide an update on the latest practices in crisis management responses in corporate scandals and explain how to build a crisis management system with soul. In the discussion part, the challenges of digital forensic investigations during the investigation process and effective ways to use them will be explained.
The lecture will introduce the latest examples of corporate scandals and fraud in the form of case studies, and will then discuss hot topics in recent corporate scandals, such as the decision on whether to make a scandal public, issues surrounding the structure and scope of the investigative committee, the relationship between the investigative committee's fact-finding and investigations/trials, scandals at subsidiaries and issues with the parent company's group governance, and compliance programs to which top management is committed, using the Antimonopoly Act as a topic. The lecture will then explain the importance of fraud prevention measures from a management perspective.
To prevent fraud, it is important to strengthen corporate governance and internal controls, but an organization will not move with just the system (making a Buddha without putting a soul is only half the battle). In the West, this is called "commitment from the top," but its essence is the same as Kazuo Inamori's famous quote, "Is your motive good? Are you selfless?" The top management and executives must set up a basic philosophy and a set of values and codes of conduct that are linked to it, and instill them in the organization. This will involve middle managers and frontline employees, and create a work environment in which all employees can work with pride and fulfillment. This is the shortcut to preventing fraud.
This book is recommended for directors, auditors, and audit and supervisory committee members, as well as legal and compliance departments, internal audit departments, and other personnel responsible for dealing with corporate fraud and scandals who have issues and concerns about how to prevent corporate scandals and how to respond in the event of an emergency.
Only members can watch it.
