Collaboration with Two Law Firms
Planned Expansion to All Affiliates

NongHyup Financial Group plans to conduct an intensive special inspection of NH Investment & Securities from November 24 to December 5 to curb self-serving behavior and strengthen internal controls.


The inspection will not be limited to the use of undisclosed information by executives and employees in the course of their duties. It will also involve a comprehensive review of control mechanisms designed to prevent self-serving activities in various areas of work, such as asset trading and service contracts. The goal is to establish an effective monitoring system at the group level.


NongHyup Financial Group stated, "From a preventive perspective, we plan to examine whether the internal control system is functioning properly and to develop concrete measures to address any institutional shortcomings." The company added, "To strengthen post-incident controls, we will impose severe sanctions-making it virtually impossible to continue working in the financial industry-if violations such as self-serving behavior are detected."

He added, "We will continue to expand these inspections to all affiliates to eradicate self-serving behavior and establish a transparent organizational culture."
