Legal Statement

Important Notice:

  1. The compliance risk identification provided by this skill is auxiliary analysis and does not constitute a formal legal opinion.
  2. Compliance review conclusions depend on the completeness and authenticity of the information provided by the enterprise; incomplete information may lead to the omission of major risks.
  3. Different industries (finance, healthcare, internet, energy, etc.) have special regulatory rules, and review must be conducted in combination with industry-specific provisions.
  4. For compliance issues involving special fields such as cross-border data transfer, antitrust, and anti-bribery, it is recommended to separately commission a specialized review.
  5. Rectification suggestions should be implemented after review by a practicing lawyer or compliance professional.

I. Core Concepts

1.1 Three Major Review Dimensions

内部合规风险识别
├── 维度一:制度体系完整性审查
│   └── 核心问题:企业是否建立了覆盖全部合规义务的内部规章制度?
├── 维度二:业务流程控制有效性审查
│   └── 核心问题:核心业务流程中的控制节点是否完备、执行是否有效?
└── 维度三:个人信息保护合规性审查
    └── 核心问题:隐私政策协议及数据处理活动是否符合《个人信息保护法》等法规?

1.2 Definition of Compliance Risk Levels

Level Marker Definition Typical Situations
Major Risk 🔴 Violation of mandatory legal provisions, which may lead to administrative penalties, criminal liability, or major civil compensation Failure to establish an anti-money laundering system (financial institutions), failure to fulfill network security level protection obligations
Important Risk 🟡 Violation of regulatory provisions or industry norms, which may lead to regulatory measures, fines, or reputational damage Procurement process lacks three-party price comparison, privacy policy fails to disclose retention period
General Risk 🟢 Incomplete systems or inadequate implementation, with compliance hazards existing but unlikely to cause serious consequences in the short term System updates lag behind regulatory amendments, approval authority settings are not sufficiently detailed

1.3 Common Sources of Compliance Obligations

Source Type Example Hierarchy of Effect
Law "Company Law" "Personal Information Protection Law" "Anti-Unfair Competition Law" Highest
Administrative Regulations Regulations on the Security of Network Data High
Departmental Rules CSRC Rules, CBIRC Rules, MIIT Rules High
Judicial Interpretations Judicial Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Personal Information Protection High
Industry Standards Self-regulatory norms and technical safety standards of various industries Medium
Local Regulations Data regulations and consumer protection regulations of various localities Medium (territorial restrictions)

II. Complete Workflow

Phase One: Preparation and Information Collection

Step 1: Confirm Basic Enterprise Information

  • Enterprise Name、Unified Social Credit Code
  • Industry(determines the special regulatory rules that apply)
  • Enterprise Size(affects the intensity and scope of compliance obligations)
  • Business Region(whether cross-border operations or multi-location operations are involved)
  • Scope of This Review: System Review / Process Review / Privacy Review / All

Step 2: Collect Materials Required for the Review

Review Dimension Required Materials
System Review List and full text of all current internal rules and regulations
Business Process Review Written operating guidelines, flowcharts, and relevant form samples for core business processes
Privacy Compliance Review Full text of the current privacy policy agreement, description of data processing activities, and list of third-party cooperation

Phase Two: Review of the Completeness of the Institutional System

Step 3: Sort Out the Compliance Obligations That the Enterprise Should Observe

  1. Identify the list of applicable laws and regulations according to the enterprise's industry
  2. Extract compliance obligations binding on the enterprise from laws and regulations
  3. Classify compliance obligations (e.g., corporate governance, labor and employment, work safety, data protection, anti-commercial bribery, etc.)

Step 4: Establish a System-Regulation Comparison Matrix

Compliance Obligation Category Required System Existing System System Status
Data Protection "Data Security Management System" "Information Security Management Measures" 🟡 Partially Covered
Anti-Commercial Bribery "Anti-Commercial Bribery Compliance System" (None) 🔴 Missing

Step 5: Review the Compliance of the Content of Existing Systems

For systems that have been established, review item by item:

  • Whether the content of the system is consistent with current laws and regulations (no conflicts, no outdated provisions)
  • Whether the responsible entities stipulated in the system are clear
  • Whether the operating procedures stipulated in the system are specific and executable
  • Whether the system stipulates consequences for violations and accountability mechanisms

Step 6: Output the Results of the System Gap Review

For each issue identified, output in the following format:

**问题编号:** G-01
**问题类型:** 制度缺失
**合规义务:** 建立反商业贿赂合规制度
**法律依据:** 《反不正当竞争法》第7条、第19条
**风险等级:** 🔴 重大
**问题描述:** 企业未建立反商业贿赂专项制度,销售人员佣金政策未经合规审核,存在商业贿赂风险敞口。
**整改建议:**
1. 制定《反商业贿赂合规制度》,明确禁止性行为清单
2. 建立经销商/代理商准入审查机制
3. 对销售人员进行反商业贿赂培训
4. 建立礼品、招待、佣金审批登记制度
**整改优先级:** 高

Phase Three: Review of the Effectiveness of Business Process Controls

Step 7: Obtain and Reconstruct Business Processes

  1. Obtain the written operating guidelines or flowcharts provided by the business department
  2. If there is no written documentation, reconstruct the process through interviews and clarify the following elements:
    • Process start and end points
    • Names and sequence of each step
    • Participating positions and responsibilities at each step
    • Approver and approval authority for each step
    • Record forms or system logs generated at each step
  3. Draw a process reconstruction diagram (marking positions, approval nodes, and document flow)

Step 8: Identify compliance control nodes that should be in place but are missing

Compare against laws, regulations, and industry standards to determine whether the process lacks the following key control nodes:

Control node Applicable scenario Risk of absence
Supplier/partner admission review Procurement, outsourcing, cooperation Unqualified credentials, conflicts of interest
Conflict of interest declaration Involves related-party transactions or personal interests Benefit transfer, self-dealing
Three-party price comparison or bidding Procurement amount reaches the prescribed threshold Inflated prices, corruption risk
Contract legal review Before signing Unfavorable terms, missing rights
Seal use approval and registration Seal use Seal abuse, contract forgery
Acceptance and confirmation Delivery of goods/services Quality mismatch, quantity shortage
Reporting and handling of exceptions Process deviates from the normal path Concealment of risk, expansion of losses

Step 9: Check segregation of incompatible duties

Incompatible duties refer to positions that, according to internal control requirements, cannot be held by the same person. Common incompatible duties:

Position combination Risk description
Procurement request and procurement approval Self-request and self-approval, lacking oversight
Supplier selection and goods acceptance May select related-party suppliers and relax acceptance standards
Fund payment and accounting records May misappropriate funds and tamper with accounts
Contract signing and contract review May sign contracts unfavorable to the company
Seal use request and seal use approval May use the seal without authorization

Inspection method:

  • Obtain the list of position holders and check whether incompatible duties are held by different people
  • If separation is impossible due to insufficient personnel, check whether there are compensating controls (such as regular rotation, cross-review, system audit trails)

Step 10: Assess the reasonableness of approval authority settings

  • Whether approval authority is set in tiers by amount/risk level
  • Whether large-amount or high-risk matters require higher-level approval
  • Whether temporary authorization approval has a post-hoc ratification mechanism
  • Whether approval authority is specified in writing, avoiding oral authorization

Step 11: Check the traceability of record retention

  • Whether each step generates written or electronic records
  • Whether records are completely preserved and can be traced to the specific operator and operation time
  • Whether the electronic approval system retains operation logs and whether the logs are tamper-proof
  • Are paper documents subject to numbering management and archiving systems?
  • Whether the record retention period complies with legal requirements

Step 12: Output the business process review results

**问题编号:** P-01
**问题类型:** 控制节点缺失
**流程节点:** 供应商选择
**法律依据:** 《企业内部控制基本规范》第29条
**风险等级:** 🔴 重大
**问题描述:** 无供应商准入审核机制,业务人员可自行确定供应商,无资质审查、背景调查环节。
**整改建议:**
1. 建立供应商准入流程,由采购部或指定部门对供应商资质进行审核
2. 形成合格供应商名录,定期更新
3. 对新增供应商进行背景调查,排除利益关联
**整改优先级:** 高

Phase 4: Personal information protection compliance review

Step 13: Obtain and review the privacy policy agreement

Obtain the full text of the company's currently effective privacy policy agreement (including all versions such as the website version, App version, and mini-program version).

Step 14: Review privacy compliance points item by item

Review item Review points Legal basis
Legality of processing Whether the purpose, method, and types of processing are clearly informed; whether user consent has been obtained (or another legal basis exists) Articles 13-17 of the Personal Information Protection Law
Principle of minimum necessity Whether the scope of personal information collected is necessary to provide the product/service; whether there is excessive collection Article 6 of the Personal Information Protection Law
Consent mechanism Whether the user's voluntary and explicit consent is obtained on first use; whether a refusal option is provided; whether basic functions and extended functions are distinguished Articles 14 and 16 of the Personal Information Protection Law
Sensitive personal information Whether the user's separate consent is obtained before collecting sensitive information such as biometrics, financial accounts, and location tracking Article 29 of the Personal Information Protection Law
Completeness of notice Whether the purpose, method, and retention period of processing are notified; if the retention period is difficult to determine, whether the method for determining it is explained Article 17 of the Personal Information Protection Law
Third-party sharing Whether separate consent is obtained for providing personal information to third parties; whether the names of third parties, types of shared information, and purposes are listed in the form of a list Article 23 of the Personal Information Protection Law; Article 21 of the Regulations on the Administration of Network Data Security
SDK disclosure Whether embedded third-party SDKs list their names, package names, types of information collected, and purposes; whether the SDK terms can be conveniently accessed Article 17 of the Personal Information Protection Law
Protection of user rights Whether users are informed of the methods and paths for access, copying, correction, deletion, withdrawal of consent, and account cancellation Articles 44-47 of the Personal Information Protection Law
Cross-border transfer Whether there is a legal basis for providing personal information overseas (one of security assessment, standard contract, or certification) Articles 38-43 of the Personal Information Protection Law
Protection of minors Whether guardian consent is obtained and whether special rules exist for processing information of minors under 14 years old Article 31 of the Personal Information Protection Law

Step 15: Output the privacy compliance review results

**问题编号:** D-01
**问题类型:** 告知内容不完整
**审查项:** 保存期限告知
**法律依据:** 《个人信息保护法》第17条
**风险等级:** 🟡 重要
**问题描述:** 隐私政策未明确告知各类个人信息的保存期限,仅表述为"实现目的所需时间内",不符合法律关于告知保存期限的要求。
**整改建议:**
1. 补充各类信息的保存期限说明
2. 对难以确定保存期限的信息,明确保存期限的确定方法(如"订单完成后保留5年,其后删除或匿名化")
**整改优先级:** 中

Phase 5: Summary and report

Step 16: Summarize all compliance risks

  1. Uniformly number the review results of the three dimensions (institutional G-XX, process P-XX, data D-XX)
  2. Sort by risk level (🔴 Major → 🟡 Important → 🟢 General)
  3. Count the number of risks of each type

IV. Examples

Example 1: Procurement Process Compliance Review

Input:

Description of a company's procurement process: The business department raises a procurement request → the department head approves → business personnel find suppliers on their own (no qualification review, no price comparison) → business personnel draft the contract → the department head signs and the seal is applied (no legal review) → the warehouse keeper inspects and puts into storage → finance makes payment. Procurements of more than 50,000 yuan are likewise approved by the department head. The seal register records only the date, not the contract name or counterparty. The procurement request form is kept by the business personnel themselves.

Review output (excerpt):

No. Node Issue Level Rectification Recommendation
P-01 Supplier selection No admission review, no price comparison mechanism 🔴 Establish a supplier admission and price comparison system
P-02 Contract signing No legal review 🔴 Add a contract legal review node
P-03 Approval authority No tiered approval for large procurements 🟡 50,000 → department head; 50,000–200,000 → vice general manager; 200,000+ → general manager
P-04 Inspection and storage Inspection and storage positions are not separated 🟡 Have different personnel be responsible separately
P-05 Seal management Seal registration information is incomplete 🟡 Register the contract name, counterparty, amount, and reason
P-06 Record retention Lack of a unified archiving system 🟢 Establish a procurement archive management system

Example 2: Privacy Policy Compliance Review

Input:

Key points of a certain App's privacy policy: User registration requires authorization of mobile phone number and WeChat OpenID; use of Global Shopping requires provision of ID card number; order information is shared with payment platforms and logistics service providers; the privacy policy does not clearly state the retention period for various types of information; it does not explain the specific path for account cancellation.

Review output (excerpt):

No. Review Item Issue Level Rectification Recommendation
D-01 Sensitive information consent Collection of ID card number does not state whether separate consent was obtained 🔴 Set up a separate consent pop-up before first use of Global Shopping
D-02 Retention period Does not clearly inform the retention period for various types of information 🟡 Supplement the retention period or the method for determining it
D-03 Third-party sharing Does not list the specific information of each third party in checklist form 🟡 List third-party names, types of shared information, and purposes in a table
D-04 User rights Does not explain the specific path for account cancellation 🟡 Supplement the operational path for exercising rights

V. Common Errors and Prevention

Error Type Error Description Consequence Preventive Measure
Incomplete regulatory review Only searching general laws, omitting industry-specific regulatory provisions Major compliance risks are omitted Establish an industry regulation checklist and consult industry experts when necessary
Institutional-regulatory comparison becomes a formality Only looking at the name of an institution, without reviewing whether the specific content is consistent with regulations Institutional content is outdated or conflicts with regulations Conduct a clause-by-clause compliance review of existing institutions
Single type of interviewee Only interview the legal or compliance department, without interviewing business departments Actual process operations do not match written provisions Interview frontline business personnel to obtain real operational information
Privacy review scope is too narrow Only review the text of the privacy policy, without verifying actual data processing activities Actual processing does not match the policy statement Require enterprises to provide explanations of data processing activities and verify against them
Rectification recommendations are not actionable Recommendations are too general (such as "strengthen management"), with no specific measures The enterprise cannot implement them, and the problem persists Rectification recommendations should be specific to the responsible department, completion deadline, and acceptance criteria
Ignoring cross-border compliance Failure to identify whether the enterprise has cross-border data transfer activities Violation of the obligation to conduct a security assessment for outbound data transfer Actively ask whether the enterprise has overseas servers or overseas partners

VI. Handling of Special Scenarios

6.1 Multi-industry Group Enterprises

For group enterprises operating multiple business segments simultaneously (such as those involved in finance, real estate, and technology at the same time):

  • Sort out the applicable regulatory rules separately by business segment
  • Identify conflicts or gaps between group-level unified institutions and segment-specific institutions
  • Pay attention to cross-segment compliance risks such as intra-group related-party transactions and fund transfers

6.2 Enterprises Planning to Go Public

In addition to general review, compliance review of enterprises planning to go public also requires special attention to:

  • Compliance of equity changes in the historical development
  • Fairness of related-party transaction pricing
  • Labor and employment compliance (social security and housing fund contributions, labor dispatch ratio)
  • Special industry permits such as environmental protection and work safety
  • Tax compliance (legality of tax incentives, transfer pricing)

6.3 Foreign-funded Enterprises/Cross-border Operations

  • Review compliance with the negative list for foreign investment access
  • Review compliance of cross-border data transfer (security assessment, standard contract, certification)
  • Review localization storage requirements (such as map data, genetic data, important data)
  • Pay attention to international sanctions compliance (OFAC, EU sanctions list)

6.4 Data-driven Internet Enterprises

  • Focus on reviewing compliance of algorithmic recommendations (whether an opt-out option is provided, whether algorithm filing is carried out)
  • Review the transparency of automated decision-making (whether users are informed, whether appeal channels are provided)
  • Review the Personal Information Protection Impact Assessment (PIA) for large-scale personal information processing activities

VIII. Related Skills

Related Skills Relationship Description
Legal Norm Validity Check Preceding/Parallel Confirm whether the laws and regulations on which the review is based are currently valid
Legal Provision Retrieval Preceding/Parallel Supplement the legal basis for specific compliance obligations
Legal risk identification Complementary This skill focuses on compliance gaps at the management system level, while legal risk identification focuses on the legality of specific legal acts

IX. Limitations and Risk Warnings

  • Information dependency: The review conclusions depend entirely on the information provided by the enterprise; deliberate concealment or provision of false information by the enterprise will lead to major omissions.
  • Dynamic nature: Laws and regulations are continuously updated, and the review conclusions only reflect the compliance status at the time of review.
  • Industry specificity: Special regulatory rules vary greatly across industries, and a general review checklist cannot cover all industry-specific requirements.
  • Depth limitation: This skill is a compliance risk screening; issues identified require further formal legal opinions issued by professional lawyers or compliance consultants.
