On 9 April 2026, the ONACC, led by Mr. Surapong Intarathaworn, Secretary-General of the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), held a meeting with the SEC, led by Mrs. Pornanong Budsaratragoon, Secretary-General, together with the SET, led by Mr. Asadej Kongsiri, President, and the IOD, led by Mr. Phrommet Bencharongkit, Project Director of the Private Sector Collective Action Against Corruption (CAC). The meeting aimed to enhance cooperation in preventing corruption in the capital market and in implementing measures to prevent bribery of public officials, as well as to promote awareness of anti-corruption efforts and good corporate governance among listed companies in the capital market, including their subsidiaries.

At this meeting, the parties reached a shared understanding on the importance of integrated cooperation and supporting effective law enforcement, as well as promoting awareness of corruption prevention and measures to prevent bribery of public officials, in accordance with Section 176 of the Organic Act on Anti-Corruption B.E. 2561 (2018). Such efforts will be implemented through appropriate internal control mechanisms and by promoting good corporate governance among listed companies.

Mrs. Pornanong Budsaratragoon, Secretary-General of the SEC, stated: “In the past, the SEC has placed importance on supervising listed companies and promoting good corporate governance, including combating corruption and bribery. The SEC has continuously communicated its expectations regarding the roles and responsibilities of those involved in audit and internal control functions of listed companies. This year, the SEC plans to further enhance and promote the effectiveness of internal auditors (Internal Auditor: IA) and internal control systems (Internal Control: IC) of listed companies. This includes enhancing the quality of IAs, covering the establishment of qualifications for heads of the IA function, and developing professional development plans for IAs in collaboration with relevant agencies. In addition, the SEC encourages listed companies, directors, and executives to recognize the importance of having strong IA and IC functions and to disclose relevant information to the public, thereby enhancing transparency and accountability, reducing corruption risks, and strengthening investor confidence in the long term. Listed companies are also encouraged to disclose their anti-corruption or anti-involvement-in-corruption policies through the 56-1 One Report.

Regarding future cooperation, the SEC and relevant agencies will jointly communicate further with listed companies on good practices in establishing anti-corruption measures. This aims to enhance awareness among listed companies of the importance of anti-corruption efforts, covering the entire process—from raising awareness at the board level, setting policies, conducting risk assessments, and establishing preventive and monitoring measures, to effective and tangible implementation.”

Mr. Asadej Kongsiri, President of the SET, stated: “This cooperation marks another important step in combining efforts to enhance corporate governance in the capital market. The SET is ready to drive anti-corruption measures toward practical implementation by encouraging listed companies and market participants to place importance on having robust internal control systems and transparent operations, in line with the SEC’s guidelines and consistent with the SET’s mission to build a Trusted Marketplace.
