Our company regards internal audit as one of the most important activities in ensuring the autonomous operation of the company. The purpose of internal audit is to contribute to the achievement of our management goals by evaluating whether the operations and activities of each organization are conducted in compliance with various laws and regulations, appropriately and efficiently; discovering and preventing fraud or significant errors; ensuring the proper management of personal information; and verifying and evaluating other necessary matters. Based on these evaluations, internal audit provides necessary advice and recommendations. We fully recognize the importance of conducting internal audit appropriately and allocate sufficient management resources for its implementation.
