Systems for ensuring that directors\u2019 and employees\u2019 execution of duties comply with laws and regulations: <\/h4>\n<p>The Company has established the Risk and Compliance Committee, chaired by an external director, in order to strengthen the compliance system for adherence to laws and regulations, the Articles of Incorporation, corporate ethics, and social norms, and to enhance the supervision function of the Board of Directors through guidance, proposals, and recommendations of the external directors. The Risk and Compliance Committee promotes compliance-oriented management by auditing and supervising the Company\u2019s compliance activities and by providing recommendations and guidance to the Board of Directors. <br>\nIn addition, the Company strives to raise awareness of compliance among officers and employees through initiatives including internal training, and has established the Capcom Code of Conduct, which governs the conduct for compliance. <br>\nFurthermore, the Company takes measures to enhance the compliance system, including establishing the Risk and Compliance Council chaired by the representative director, establishing a system for cross-organizational control over measures taken under the compliance system in the Company, and regularly reporting to the Risk and Compliance Committee concerning the status of those activities. The Company has also established a point of contact for consultation as part of the internal reporting system within the Company office as well as offsite at a law office. <br>\nThe Company has established the Internal Audit Department, which is an organization directly under the control of the Audit and Supervisory Committee that conducts internal audits independently of the departments conducting business.<\/p>\n    \n\n<h4 class=\"c-ttl-little is-black indent1em\">2. Systems for storing and managing information relating to directors\u2019 execution of duties: <\/h4>\n<p>The Company practices appropriate storage and management of the minutes of Board of Directors\u2019 meetings and other documents and data pertaining to the directors\u2019 execution of duties in accordance with its Document Management Rules and other documents. <\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"c-ttl-little is-black indent1em\">3. Rules and other systems for managing the risk of loss<\/h4>\n<p>The Company has established the Risk Management Rules and the Risk and Compliance Council chaired by a representative director, so as to prevent crises. <br>\nThe Risk and Compliance Council is working to clarify and enhance the risk management system in the Company. In addition, it strives to strengthen the risk management system through such measures as regularly reporting to the Risk and Compliance Committee, composed of directors, concerning those activities.<br>\nFurthermore, the Company strives to respond promptly and appropriately in collaboration with related departments in the event of unforeseen circumstances, based on the Risk Management Rules.  <\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"c-ttl-little is-black indent1em\">4. Systems for ensuring that directors execute their duties efficiently <\/h4>\n<p>The Company enhances management efficiency through the introduction of the corporate officer system which clearly distinguishes between the Board of Directors (which determines management policies) and corporate officers (who execute business operations) and by promoting swift decision-making, resulting in smooth and flexible business operations. <\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"c-ttl-little is-black indent1em\">5. Systems for ensuring the appropriateness of the Company\u2019s business operations<\/h4>\n<p>The Company\u2019s subsidiaries hold Board of Directors meetings approximately once a month, which are attended by the Company\u2019s directors. The subsidiaries and the Company communicate and coordinate closely, and the subsidiaries are required to report on sales updates, business forecasts, and other important matters, in accordance with the Management Regulations for Subsidiaries. The Risk Management Rules and other measures advance the Company\u2019s overall risk management system including compliance and ensure that its operations incorporate functional corporate governance.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"c-ttl-little is-black indent1em\">6. Systems for employees assisting the Audit and Supervisory Committee, ensuring the independence of said employees, and ensuring the effectiveness of instructions given to said employees<\/h4>\n<p>The Audit and Supervisory Committee works to ensure effective internal control by auditing directors\u2019 and employees\u2019 execution of duties in accordance with auditing policies and submitting audit findings along with advice and corrective recommendations, among others. For this purpose, the Internal Audit Department (an organization directly under the control of the Audit and Supervisory Committee) has been established to support the Audit and Supervisory Committee in carrying out its duties smoothly and appropriately. We have established a system in which full-time employees assist with the committee\u2019s duties under instructions of the members of the Audit and Supervisory Committee, and these employees cannot be transferred without the agreement of the Audit and Supervisory\nCommittee. <\/p>\n\n\t\n<h4 class=\"c-ttl-little is-black indent1em\">7. Systems for the subsidiaries\u2019 and affiliates\u2019 officers and employees to report to the Audit and supervisory Committee, for other reports to the Audit and Supervisory Committee, and for preventing unfavorable treatment as a result of making such reports<\/h4>\n<p>The subsidiaries\u2019 and affiliates\u2019 officers and employees from whom the Audit and Supervisory Committee has requested information regarding the execution of duties must promptly respond to such requests and report appropriately on required matters.<br>\n The subsidiaries\u2019 and affiliates\u2019 officers and employees will not be treated unfavorably for making such reports to the Audit and Supervisory Committee.<\/p>\n\t\n\n<h4 class=\"c-ttl-little is-black indent1em\">8. Other systems for ensuring the effectiveness of audits by the Audit and Supervisory Committee<\/h4>\n <p>The Company sets aside a budget to cover costs incidental to the execution by directors who serve as a member of the Audit and Supervisory Committee of their duties. Where requested, a cash advance covering such costs is provided by the Company.<\/p>\n\t\n\n<h4 class=\"c-ttl-little is-black indent1em\">9. Overview of the status of operation of the system to ensure appropriate business operations<\/h4>\n<p>The overview of the status of operation of the system for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 is as follows.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"c-txtind1 indent2em\">(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In addition to the systems mentioned above, important meetings (of the Board of Directors, as well as the Corporate Management Council, Human Resources Committee, and Board of Corporate Officers) were convened at which deliberations and resolutions took place concerning matters stipulated by law and items to be discussed based on various rules. In addition, the Audit and Supervisory Committee determined auditing policies and schedules, and conducted audits of the Board of Directors pertaining to execution of duties\nand observance of laws and regulations. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"indent2em\">(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp; The Company operates a system capable of swift decision making in a business environment that is undergoing rapid change by delegating authority based on internal rules, including delegation by the Board of Directors of certain important business execution decisions to the Representative Directors. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"indent2em\">(iii)&nbsp; Half (i.e., 7) of the Company\u2019s 14 directors are independent external directors, and the Company works to strengthen the supervisory function of the Board of Directors through active exchanges of opinions and other means by organizing various voluntary committees, roundtable discussions, facility tours, and other events. In addition, the Company has established a Risk and Compliance Committee chaired by an external director.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"indent2em\">(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp; The Company has established a Risk and Compliance Council chaired by the representative director to centrally manage the understanding of inherent risks and identify the probabilities involved. The Risk and Compliance Council reports on the results of risk assessments and response policies to the Risk and Compliance Committee. Based on the contents of these reports, the Committee works to quickly detect and prevent illegal activities and fraud by counseling and advising on the same to the Board of Directors. <\/p>\n\t\n<p class=\"indent2em\">(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; To deepen officers\u2019 and employees\u2019 understanding of compliance issues, the Company works to promote thorough awareness of legal compliance through various e-learning measures and other initiatives. In addition, the Company strives to instill a strong sense of compliance among officers and employees through both internal and external training programs, including compliance training sessions led by external instructors. <\/p>\n\t\n<p class=\"indent2em\">(vi)&nbsp;&nbsp; With regard to information protection and management, the Company manages personal information, business secrets, and other confidential information appropriately based on the Information Management General Rules and other regulations and guidelines. In addition, the Company believes that ensuring information security through measures such as information management and cyber security is essential. For this reason, we continuously maintain and enhance the information security management system taking on board the advice of the Information Technology Security Oversight Committee (an external advisory group).<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"indent2em\">(vii)&nbsp; With regard to the Company\u2019s subsidiary companies, apart from communicating the Company\u2019s corporate philosophy, management policies, and other matters to the management of Company subsidiaries, the Company has initiatives in place to ensure the effectiveness of the internal control systems of the Company as a whole by continuous monitoring of subsidiaries\u2019 operations. These measures include gathering information from officers holding concurrent positions in the Company and subsidiaries as well as from temporary employees. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"indent2em\">(viii) In addition to receiving periodic reports from the Internal Audit Department, where required, the Audit and Supervisory Committee conducts stringent checks to determine the effectiveness of internal control systems using organizational audits, by issuing directions, and other measures. <\/p>\n    \n<p class=\"indent2em\">(ix)&nbsp; The Company established a point of contact system through which the Company\u2019s officers and employees may make reports or seek advice for the purpose of further improving the workplace environment as well as to facilitate early detection and prevention of illegal activities. The points of contact, which provide a system for officers and employees to submit reports and seek consultations, are located within the Company office as well as offsite at a law office. The points of contact operate based on rules that maintain their independence from management, ensure that people who submit internal reports are not subject to unfavorable treatment as a result of such reports, and protect the confidentiality of information that might identify the persons seeking advice. <\/p>\n\n\t\t\n<h3 class=\"c-ttl-small\">Basic Views on Measures for Eliminating Anti-Social Forces and Status of Development<\/h3>\n<p>The Company takes a firm stand against antisocial forces that threaten social order and the safety of civil society, and has no connection of any kind with groups or individuals of such nature. <\/p>\n \n<p>Where the Company comes into contact with such groups or individuals, prompt organizational action is taken in response and any unjustified or illegal demands are firmly denied, while also coordinating with the police and other relevant organizations. <\/p>\n\n<p>In addition, care is taken to acquire relevant information on anti-social forces and related trends, and if a connection exists with entities that the Company was not aware were anti-social forces, swift action is taken to terminate such connection in coordination with the police and other relevant organizations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"c-tabBlock\">\n<div class=\"categoryMenu categoryMenu-bottom\"><span class=\"menu\">MENU<span class=\"hm\"><span><\/span><span><\/span><span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<ul class=\"c-tabCatListPageLink c-tabCatListPageLink-bottom\">\n<li><a href=\"\/ir\/english\/company\/governance\/system.html\">Structure<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/ir\/english\/company\/governance\/officer.html\">Directors<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"is-current\">Internal Control <br>system<\/li>\n<!--li><a href=\"\/ir\/english\/csr\/governance\/security.html\">Information<br>security<\/a><\/li-->\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Structure Directors Internal ControlSystem (as of June 19, 2026) Matters Concerning the Internal Control Syste [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":12968,"parent":52137,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template\/company_page.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-52147","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"lang":"english","translations":{"english":52147,"ja":52056},"pll_sync_post":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.capcom.co.jp\/ir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/52147"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.capcom.co.jp\/ir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.capcom.co.jp\/ir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.capcom.co.jp\/ir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.capcom.co.jp\/ir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52147"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.capcom.co.jp\/ir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/52147\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":55547,"href":"https:\/\/www.capcom.co.jp\/ir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/52147\/revisions\/55547"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.capcom.co.jp\/ir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/52137"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.capcom.co.jp\/ir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12968"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.capcom.co.jp\/ir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52147"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
