Management Board

In countries where there is greater inclusivity in decision-making, or where there is a strong family dominance, it is possible that a

The 2-tier system may also operate with family dominated companies, with family members having their own top-level private Board which has controlling voting rights (and therefore where the true decision-making power rests).
To an extent, schools in the UK may be seen to have a 2-tier system, with the Head / Principal and a small number of senior teachers on a management board, with the School Governors in a more supervisory role.
Of course, schools naturally have a lot of stakeholders (parents, teachers etc.) so would seem well-suited to this structure. 2-tier board will exist. Management Board will run the day to day operations of the company, but will be monitored by a higher level Supervisory Board. In UK terms, this is similar to having the NEDs on a top board, with the Executive Directors on a separate lower Board. Advantages of 2-tier boards ● Where there is a large Board, splitting into 2 may make discussion and decision making easier.
● The existence of 2 Boards allows for more stakeholders to be involved.
● By separating NEDs from the Executive Directors, the independence of the NEDs is likely to be improved.

Corporate Governance

Corporate Governance varies around the World, largely due to different history and cultures. In the UK and US, the model is aimed primarily at the rights of shareholders. In Germany and much of continental Europe, and also in Japan, In Japan, many major company structures were traditionally based around banks. Large groups of companies from many industries would all be financed, and part-owned by a major bank, which would create a strong financial alliance. Cross-shareholdings between companies were common, and in many cases the companies in the "group" would all supply each other. In South America, Italy, Spain, and large parts of East Asia (e.g. Indonesia) the focus is more on banks play a more prominent role, often holding shares and having Board members. Such governance models tend to be more inclusive, ensuring that the rights of workers, customers and suppliers (and maybe the community) are represented at Board level. family ownership , with a large % of the bigges...

AUDITING STANDARDS AND QUALITY CONTROL

soft skills Just as there are accounting standards, there are also audit standards to give auditors guidance (and in some cases rules) as to how they should perform their audit work. Many countries have their own national audit standards – e.g. In the UK, the Auditing Practices Board set them. There are also International Standards on Auditing (ISAs), which are set by the International Audit & Assurance Standards Board (IAASB), part of the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC). For countries without their own audit standards, the ISAs provide a set of standards that can be adopted, or altered based on national requirements. Quality control is partly achieved by having audit standards to follow ... however it is also achieved by the RSBs (e.g. ACCA) checking the audit work of their members, and handling complaints. The RSBs also have rules to ensure their members are keeping up to date with technical changes. AUDITING STANDARDS AND QUALITY CONTROL
