【摘要】 独立董事是指不在公司担任除董事以外的其他职务,并与其所受聘的公司及其主要股东不存在可能妨碍其进行独立客观判断关系的董事。最近几年,我国的上市公司出现了一系列问题,其中比较严重的是许多上市公司的控股股东对上市公司的资产、经营等等进行肆意干涉,严重侵害了上市公司以及中小股东的利益。为了维护证券市场的顺利运做,完善上市公司治理结构,保护中小股东,防止控股股东操纵上市公司,我国引进了独立董事制度。独立董事制度对我国上市公司治理结构的作用,有着不同的认识:一种认为其是完善公司治理结构的灵丹妙药,因而大力推行。这种观点的人们认为我国当前的主要任务是如何令独立董事真正“独立”,如何促使独立董事起到更大的作用;另一种观点则认为独立董事制度在我国根本没有存在的必要,我国的独立董事仅仅是应监管部门的强行性要求而被动设立的“花瓶”。笔者认为,独立董事制度时英美法系国家最早出现,其出现与这些国家有关公司的历史背景、法律背景以及需要解决的具体问题密切相关。我国上市公司涉及的历史背景、法律背景以及需要解决的具体问题与西方国家当时情形不同,因此对于独立董事制度的引进应当慎重。独立董事制度对于公司治理结构的确有着良好的作用,我们可以引进,但应当是符合我国的法律、历史和现实背景的前提下引进。对于我国上市公司而言,独立董事制度可以是解决我国的“大股东控制”问题中的一个具体手段,对于我国公司法律制度而言,独立董事制度可以成为我们的借鉴和参考,但决不可以把它当成是上市公司治理结构的本身。在我国,独立董事制度只应当是公司治理结构的完善过程中的一个手段而已。
【Abstract】 Independent Director is the director that has no other duties in the corporation, no relations with the corporation and its main shareholders which may disturb his independent judges. Series of problems appear in the public-held corporations of our country in recent years. A serious problem among them is that the controlling shareholders intervene the corporation’s asser and management wantonly, which largely aggrieves the corporations and its common shareholders. The system of Independent Director is therefore introduced into our country to consummate the structure of the public-held corporations and protect the common shareholders. There have two opinions on the function of the system of Independent Director. One thinks that the system is so good that should be greatly pushed. Our main target is to make the independent director really "independent" and to enlarge its function. The other thinks that the system is not necessary. It’s only a sort of furnishings to cater for the requests of certain departments. The writer thinks that the system appeared in the case-law countries first because of their history background, law background and certain problems. The public-held corporations in our country have different backgrounds. Therefore, we should take care of introducing the system into our country. Thy system is good for fathering the structure of the public-held corporations and can be a means for solving the problem of controlling shareholders. In our country, the system is a means to consummate the fathering structure of the public-held corporations, but not the structure itself.
