万科事件再考独董之责

When will “the vase type” independent director meet its end

中国引入独立董事制度的初衷和目的是完善上市公司治理,对上市公司的相关决策进行外部的监督制衡。但长期以来,一些上市公司的独立董事更多地扮演了＂咨询顾问＂的角色,外部监督制衡职能被严重弱化。

The original intention and purpose of introducing the independent director system in China is to improve the governance of listed companies, and to supervise and balance the listed companies' the relevant decisions externally. But for a long time, the independent directors of some listed companies have played the role of 'consultant', and the function of external supervision and restriction has been seriously weakened.
