In September 2017, FUJIFILM Holdings established its Global Audit Division, consolidating the existing audit organizations in each Group company, to create a system for the direct auditing of consolidated subsidiaries. This has led to the centralization of information from each company, swift reporting of action, effective utilization of auditing personnel, who were previously dispersed. We evaluate and verify the appropriateness of the operations of our company and group companies.
In our audits, we are working to strengthen our auditing capabilities and auditing management by making highly effective use of IT. For example, we detect abnormal values and deteriorating figures through trend analysis of data such as sales and expenses, balance sheet and profit and loss statement data. We also conduct email forensic audits in line with audit timing, as well as regular email forensic audits of subsidiaries that require enhanced monitoring. In addition, we monitor the progress of improvement activities at each audited company in response to audit findings. In particular, the “email forensic system” is generally outsourced to external organizations in times of emergency, and is not often used in ordinary internal audits. However, our company has developed its own system by utilizing its own AI and other internal mechanisms, and we are improving the accuracy of the system by combining it with more detailed internal information and analyzing it. By utilizing this system, we are able to detect signs of fraud and problems, as well as understand the organizational culture. Following its introduction in Japan, we are now gradually rolling out the system overseas.
The Fujifilm Group reviews the Charter for Corporate Behavior and Code of Conduct in step with changes in society and business operations. Revisions are made from a global perspective, and the new versions are shared globally in all 24 languages to ensure a correct understanding by employees in each country. In January 2024, the Message from Top Management has been updated with the establishment of the Fujifilm Group’s Purpose.
The employees who violate the Code of Conduct possibly become subject to disciplinary measures depending on the content of the violation.
In the healthcare business, we recognize that higher ethical conduct and transparency and fair business activities are requested by society and the regulatory authorities in each country. In accordance with this situation, in July 2020 we established the Fujifilm Group Global Healthcare Code of Conduct that must be adhered to in promoting proper business activities. In addition, the preamble has been revised with the establishment of the Fujifilm Group’s Purpose in January 2024.
