Code of Conduct
R&I Code explains its basic policy toward credit rating, its rating criteria and procedures which enables the company and its analysts to assign reliable ratings. R&I announced the Code as a part of its efforts to enhance transparency for market participants and regulatory authorities.
International Organization of Securities Commissioners (IOSCO) published on December 2004 its Code of Conduct Fundamentals (“IOSCO Code”) and requested each rating agency to make its own code of conduct which models after the IOSCO Code. In line with the contents of IOSCO Code, R&I Code also includes provisions regarding measures to avoid conflicts of interest and to protect confidential information.
