Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A company serves as an avenue for huge investments for carrying out its business essentially on the capital that's been raised from the general public. It is a common platform for different stakeholders for making investments to earn profits. The corpus raised belongs to various stakeholders, thus demanding that all the underlying transactions should be devoid of any attempt at dissimulation on the part of the company's management. An independent director being an outsider not involved in the day-to-day management of the company is the best-suited person to act as a watchdog to ensure that the company is functioning objectively in the best interests of the stakeholders. It's the responsibility of the independent director to hold the management accountable in case of any suspected mismanagement within a company. Thus, under such circumstances, it is apposite to acknowledge that with such huge amount of capital being raised and investments made; somewhere it rings a bell as to who shall bear the responsibility of such large scale investments being done? The practice across jurisdictions indicates that the presence of Independent directors is an answer to that. The present write up delves into the current scenario in the Indian Corporate Sector and examine the role of Independent Director in Corporate Governance, in particular.

Download or read book The Roles of Independent Directors in Promoting Best Corporate Governance Practices written by Society for Corporate Governance Nigeria and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of having individuals with no financial, personal, or material attachments, as directors of the company stemmed primarily from the proverb, “whomever pays the piper dictates the tune.” As each board director represented various interests, ranging from institutional investors, shareholders with large holdings, venture capitalists, the CEO among others which may supersede the interests of the company and the shareholders.Therefore, the need for a director bearing impartiality and objectivity to the board brought forth the 'independent director' who would, occupy a unique position to dissect through the core issues and find a neutral position where issues arises in the boardroom; being a bridge builder in difficult conversations; bring in a specific expertise to the board and utilize his or her networking abilities and other resources to enhance the company's portfolio. This article therefore seeks to examine who an independent director is, the difference from non-executive directors, the roles of independent directors, frameworks imposing the inclusion of independent directors as well as the evaluation of independence and its application in Nigeria, while juxtaposing it with other countries.

Download or read book The Independent Director in Society written by Gerry Brown and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-28 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Things will always go wrong in organisations. The question is how quickly will they get caught and put right? The problem facing every organisation today – our businesses, universities, health services, or the many other sporting and charitable institutions that shape our society – is that the relationship between their executive management and those whose job it is to oversee them (whether they are called non-executive or independent directors, trustees, or governors) has become unbalanced. The Independent Director in Society shows how to rebalance it. Based on original, in-depth research from Henley Business School, this is the first book to survey and analyse the governance crisis right across society rather than just focus upon the business sector. The authors show that – despite their many differences – all organisations have many issues, behaviours and problems in common. The same problems require, in many cases, the same solutions. Sometimes they don’t. The authors offer two answers. The first lies in the realm of policy. Not a need for more legislation, but a move to give the existing codes of practice back their teeth and make them fit for purpose. The second lies with independent directors themselves. Urgent improvement is needed in standards of thought and action as well as the calibre of these directors. Above all, directors need to develop an independent mindset that will enable them to make better, more accurate decisions. There are many elements to creating this culture, including selection, training and education for directors, and support from chairs and executive teams, but most of all directors themselves must recognise their responsibilities in a complex and volatile world.
Download or read book Corporate Governance and Directors Independence written by Yuan Zhao and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More and more, the agenda of corporate governance reform has been calling for a dramatic change in the composition and structure of boards of publicly traded companies, with particular criticism reserved for the role of independent directors. This timely, ground-breaking book takes a new and rigorous approach to this important issue. Investigating board independence from a distinctly original perspective, the author's systematic analysis explores the effective interaction of such aspects as the following: What specific functions are expected of independent directors? How these functions fit with the unitary board structure? Why independent directors are seen as inherently necessary for corporate governance? Whether board independence can be compatible with other governance mechanisms? How mainstream company law is applied to independent directors. The analysis leads to a series of solutions designed to eliminate the real and perceived obstacles to the proper functioning of independent directors. In the process, the author discusses such critical 'moments' in corporate governance as monitoring, public relations, social responsibility, shareholder activism, the danger of 'groupthink', remuneration, collective liability, and codes of conduct. The discussion and analysis chart a course through which independent directors can better serve the goal of improving the system of corporate governance. As such, it will be greatly appreciated by investors, corporate counsel for institutional investors, and policymakers and academics in relevant areas of both business and law.
Download or read book The Independent Director in China and India written by Cornelius Bader and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2011-07-11 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Law - Comparative Legal Systems, Comparative Law, grade: A+, Vanderbilt University (Law School), language: English, abstract: The “independent director” has become a centerpiece of modern corporate governance. However, the concept of “independence”, and the ability of independent directors to fulfill their roles, remains deeply problematical. In the course of the discussion on the proper role of independent directors that unfolded in Europe and the United States during the 1980s and 1990s and peaked in the wake of the Enron scandal, rules on director independence have found their way to the corporate governance regimes of developing countries that turned their head to western economies. Particularly in China and India, independent directors have taken their place on company boards, earning mixed responses from the academic and business community. What is the current state of Indian and Chinese rules on director independence? What tensions do they address and create? And what can be done to optimize the achievement of their objectives? The goal of this article is to examine the status quo of director independence in the two countries, to put the regulations into their historic and political context, to summarize practical experiences with the new institution, and to point to possible future developments.
