To improve the supervisory board, we must enhance the function of it. We can grant them some powers which are held by most supervisory board under the One-tier System, but is granted to the independent directors according to the Guidance released by the CSRC. For example, the power to recruit the independent auditors, the power to sanction the relevant transactions, the power to sanction the annual report that will be submitted to the assemble shareholders meeting ect. These powers are granted to the supervisory board in Germany. So, in China where the model of the corporate governance is Two-tiers, the supervisory board also can do their work best through enhancing their function.
Although the introduction of the independent director can be improving the public corporate governance, it can’ t resolve the problem of the public corporate governance. So, it can’t be regarded as a system to be introduced, and perhaps can be regarded as a means to improve the supervisory board in China as the Germany did. (25)
