独立董事制度是一种源于英美法系国家的公司治理和监控机制。在我国双层制公司治理结构下,该制度的引入有利于解决上市公司的“内部人控制”现象,更有效地保护中小股东的利益。独立性是独立董事的根本特性,也是其能否发挥作用的关键。但在实践中,也存在一些法律问题需进一步完善。本文从独立董事的起源发展,阐述了我国引用独立董事的必要,既分析了我国独立董事制度存在的问题和对策。 The system of independent directors is a kind of corporate governance and monitoring mechanism originating from Anglo-American countries. Under the dual-tier corporate governance structure in our country, the introduction of the system is conducive to solving the “insider control ” phenomenon of listed companies and protecting the interests of minority shareholders more effectively. Independence is the fundamental characteristic of independent directors, but also the key to its function. However, in practice, there are some legal issues that need to be further improved. This paper develops from the origin of independent directors, expounds the necessity of referring to independent directors in our country, analyzes the problems and countermeasures of our country’s independent director system.
