Substantive Law Construction of Non-prosecution of Corporate Criminal Compliance in China
The current successful experience of China's corporate criminal compliance non-prosecution reform is worthy of recog-nition,but due to the lack of a clear substantive legal basis,it is difficult to truly become a formal institutional practice,and there are also problems that lead to inconsistent application of law.The basis for attribution of unit crimes is different from that of natural persons,and is more of a compliance responsibility.Compliance responsibility is the view of functional responsibility theo-ry,that is,emphasizing that enterprises take compliance plans as a way to bear responsibility in order to effectively prevent unit crimes in the future,which is a theoretical proposition that is more conducive to ensuring the high-quality development of compa-nies and enterprises and effectively realizing crime prevention,which also needs to be reflected in the amendment of the Criminal Law to achieve the consistency between corporate criminal compliance and non-prosecution with China's criminal law provisions.In this regard,the criminal law not only needs to strengthen the compliance responsibility of companies and enterprises,taking effective enterprise compliance as a non-criminal way to bear responsibility,adding the compliance responsibility of companies and enterprises to the unit crime clause,and distinguishing between prior and post-criminal compliance to stipulate different ways of realizing compliance liability,but also needs to add the unit sentencing system to give play to the complete incentive effect of the criminal law.
