WHAT DOES SUPERVISORY BOARD MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Supervisory board

A supervisory board or supervisory committee, often called board of directors, is a group of individuals chosen by the stockholders of a company to promote their interests through the governance of the company and to hire and supervise the executive directors and CEO. Corporate governance varies between countries, especially regarding the board system. There are countries that have a one-tier board system and there are others that have a two-tier board system like Germany. In a one-tier board, all the directors form one board, called the board of directors. In a two-tier board there is an executive board and a separate supervisory board. When it comes to internal elections the chairman of supervisory board, the Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender, has two votes in case of a draw. The supervisory board, in theory, is intended to provide a monitoring role. However, the appointment of supervisory board members has not been a transparent process and has therefore led to inefficient monitoring and poor corporate governance in some cases.
