Povzetek: Skrb za zakonitost delovanja je ena temeljnih dolžnosti poslovodstva vsake družbe. V primeru koncernske povezanosti se ta dolžnost razširi še na odvisne družbe, kar pomeni, da je uprava odgovorna za zakonitost delovanja ne le "lastne", to je obvladujoče družbe, ampak tudi odvisnih družb. To izhaja iz splošne določbe 265. člena Zakona o gospodarskih družbah (ZGD-1) o skrbnosti in odgovornosti članov organov vodenja ali nadzora. Zaradi nezakonitosti na ravni odvisnih družb lahko obvladujoči družbi nastane posredna, v nekaterih primerih pa celo neposredna škoda. V zvezi z vzpostavitvijo sistema koncernske "skladnosti" (angl. compliance) in potrebnim informacijskim tokom med družbami v skupini je nekaj pravnih dilem, ki pa so omejene na primere, ko je odvisna družba organizirana kot delniška družba.

Title: Group Compliance Liability of the Dominant Company's Management Board

Abstract: Compliance concern is a fundamental duty of any company management. For a group of companies, this duty also extends to subsidiaries, which means that the management board is not only liable for the compliance of its "own", i.e. dominant company, but also of subsidiaries. This follows from the general provision of Article 265 of the Companies Act (ZGD-1) on the care and liability of the members of the management or supervisory bodies. Due to the unlawfulness at the level of subsidiaries, the dominant company may suffer indirect or, in some cases, even direct damage. In connection with the establishment of the group compliance system and the necessary information flow between companies within the group, certain legal dilemmas exist, which are limited to cases where a subsidiary is organised as a public limited company.
