Shinhan Investment Corp has published an internal practical guideline to help embed its responsibilities map and strengthen its internal control system.

Shinhan Investment said on May 18 it distributed internally the 2026 edition of the Responsibilities Map Guideline.

Shinhan Investment in 2024 created a separate Compliance Management Department under its compliance supervision division to oversee the design and operation of the responsibilities map.

The department has compiled Financial Supervisory Service guidelines and practical cases, turning corporate governance legal provisions that could be understood abstractly into a booklet tailored to employees.

The guideline covers the background and concept of the responsibilities map, standards for allocating responsibilities, how to draft responsibility statements and a system chart, executive qualification requirements and the governance structure, among other aspects of the system.

It also includes content needed for internal control practices. It sets out the background and basic policies for establishing an internal control steering committee, the chief executive's eight overarching management duties, executives' six management duties, criteria for determining "due care" for reduced or exempted liability, step-by-step relief procedures when incidents occur and standards for determining the level of sanctions.

Chief Executive Lee Seon-hoon (이선훈) said, "Thorough internal controls are a core competitiveness of financial companies and a promise to customers." He added, "We will present standards to establish a mature culture of financial ethics beyond fulfilling legal obligations."
