The Improvement Of The Legal System Of The Remuneration Of Directors In China

Companies take increasingly important role in the market economy along with the market economic advance. The role of directors in the company is also significant. In order to solve conflicting interests due to the principal-agent reasons, Encourage Directors make better job for the company and international practice implements measures such as stock options. However, with this series of measures to implement, issues are becoming apparent. The rapid expansion of the directors'remuneration levels which does not match with the company's performance makes shareholders and the communities focus attention on this issue.The public paying the directors such a high interest in the most essential reason for the performance of the company in its depressed level of remuneration of the way continues to rise. Both at home and abroad, it has become the company's areas of urgent need to address one of the issues. In the United States and other countries, the remuneration of the directors to restrict enactment of laws and regulations. In China there are a large number of state-owned enterprises, insufficient or irrational incentive remuneration of directors'of China's problem is particularly serious. What's more, the provisions of remuneration of directors of China's relevant laws and systems are not perfect. Thus, referring to foreign legal experience and improving the remuneration of directors of China's legal system is necessary.This paper is divided into four parts to analyze the remuneration system. Firstly the thesis introduces the directors'remuneration-related issues, pointing out problems that lie in the pay of the composition and remuneration system including performance-related difference and the resignation of directors for arbitrage and such phenomena. The most essential of these phenomena occurs because the separation of system of ownership and management, leading to the inconsistency of fundamental interests between shareholders and directors. To solve such problems, formulation and regulations should be done to ensure that a reasonable remuneration of directors and shareholders of the company to get and creditors approval. There are reasons to believe that the community would not have been overpaid questioned as long as the remuneration of company directors in line with company performance as well as its level of remuneration is understood by the shareholders. Therefore, we should focus on improving legal system on further clarifying the pay of directors, recovering compensation and the disclosure of pay. First chapter gives a brief introduction to remuneration system for directors, including the concept of remuneration of directors, the directors remuneration theoretical basis for the legal system, theory based on principal-agent and agent cost and risk and investment harm the interests of the company when company shareholders and directors have conflicting interests. It also describes the legal system of remuneration of directors of purpose, intending to make compensation of directors to play a constraint and normative role in the salary structure. It will set diversification into a open, symmetric and transparent pay through the strengthening of the decisions and the disclosure provisions of the legal system. Based on the principles of these types, forming a set of harmonized legal system provides to enable our company's shareholders, creditors and other stakeholders to supervise the remuneration of directors of the main legal basis for the.The second chapter focuses on the legal system of remuneration-determining. In China's relevant laws, determinations of the remuneration of directors are not sufficiently clear and there's even some contradiction. The right for general meeting of shareholders to decide on the provisions is too absolute, resulting in that shareholders have arduous tasks and can not focus on the main issues to resolve. What's more, its operators are not specific and can not be adjusted according to the situation in due course to the provisions of remuneration of directors of some of the subjective. Reference to foreign-related legislation, the appropriate remedy for this issue is to give the board the right to participate and moderate this right in order to avoid its self-set salaries. Remuneration of directors'which is determined by general meeting of shareholders makes major decisions on the principle of payment, stock options, other long-term incentive plan and the Board total compensation. The board should be conferred a certain degree of decision-making power too, mainly including the implementation of the shareholders as well as the compensation policy and assessment methods. The scope of the statutory shareholders will decide the amount and payment methods of remuneration of individual directors. In addition, the Remuneration Committee should be established and improving the implementation of this specific agency and its system of deciding the remuneration of directors is also very important. Combined with China's actual conditions, details of the Remuneration Committee set up circumstances and needs improvement. For the particularity of independent directors the thesis also conducted a detailed study on their remuneration decision, pointing out that the chairman of state-owned enterprises pay attention to employee directors of the decision and the need for participation.The third chapter describes the disclosure of directors'remuneration of the legal system, noting that China's existing laws relating to disclosure requirements of directors'remuneration the office is general. The disclosure of content is not comprehensive and the dispersion mode should take some measures against these. The combination of the advanced experience of foreign countries could be used as source in China to response to the disclosure of the remuneration, the Remuneration Committee and the directors of various types. The disclosure of remuneration policies, includes salary structure, salary levels, the manner in which the directors to pay salaries and related pay for performance standards to how to assess and so on. The Remuneration Committee membership and composition and duties should be disclosed and the right of independent directors must be disclosed specific and detailed. The disclosure of the remuneration should be centralized in corporate governance to open up a special chapter in the annual report or additional accessories, or to develop specific remuneration of directors is more conducive to the annual report of the supervision of the general public and shareholders. Besides, ensuring the authenticity of the disclosure of remuneration to increase shareholder right the sensitivity of pay disclosure is significant.The forth chapter recovers compensation for directors and makes a brief analysis of the legal system, comparing the situation at home and abroad. The thesis points out that our problem lies in the law's provision which is too principled to recover salaries. The legislation is not specific enough, resulting in non-operability in practice strong. Remuneration of directors should be made clear income and the return of clear interests of the principal should be limited in the amount recovered and the time constraints to ensure the timely subjects of rights. The improvement in the recovery of the system makes emphasis on the judge's discretion and the combination of foreign experience reinforces the supervisory role of other subjects such as the staff representatives. And in that way, the supervision on commission on the remuneration of the directors could recover improper behavior.The thesis draws a summary. From the related legal systems perspective of the directors'salaries, further research on remuneration of directors needs to be related with the economic field. The thesis is looking forward to the ministries of legal provisions on the remuneration of directors that would complement each other, playing a close convergence of role. Look forward to in the corporate governance guidelines, some of the specific provisions of the directors'remuneration can be used specifically on how to do this. Due to many factors, director compensation reform of the legal system is still a long way nowadays. If there is a possibility, a special chapter could be added in the Company Law in China which requires the directors' remuneration system, improving the company's governance structure in the future.
