摘要

非执行董事独立于管理层行事,对公司董事会的诚信至关重要,这一前提几十年来推动了公司治理议程的大部分内容。事实就是如此,尽管有关独立非执行董事的价值或贡献的经验证据相互矛盾。此外,在公司董事会的背景下,“独立性”的确切含义仍然不透明,有关该办公室的角色和职权范围的期望远未确定。本文详细阐述了其中的一些主题。讨论将向读者介绍突出的概念,并提供最突出的论述和最新发展的概述,参考美国、英国、欧洲联盟和其他司法管辖区的方法。最终,本文有助于围绕独立非执行董事作为良好公司治理的关键监督机制的有效性,以及监管能够和应该在多大程度上支持该职位的持续辩论。

The independent non-executive director: Origins, regulation and persistent challenges
The premise that non-executive directors acting independently from management is essential to the integrity of the company board has driven much of the corporate governance agenda for decades. This is the case, despite conflicting empirical evidence of the value or contribution of independent non-executives. In addition, the exact meaning of ‘independence’ in the context of the corporate board remains opaque, and expectations regarding the role and remit of the office are far from settled. This article elaborates on some of these themes. The discussion will introduce the reader to the salient concepts and offer an overview of the most prominent discourse and recent developments with reference to approaches in the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other jurisdictions. Ultimately, the paper contributes to the ongoing debate surrounding the efficacy of the independent non-executive director as a critical oversight mechanism in good corporate governance and the extent to which regulation can and should scaffold the office.
