Generally speaking, if you only serve as a supervisor, even if the company is insolvent and has disappeared after being included in the untrustworthy list, the court generally only takes measures to limit the height of the executive director or legal representative of the company, and does not take measures against supervisors. The function of supervisors is very important, but supervisors have a lot of work and need to be carefully considered and handled, so they may involve a lot of personal risks and responsibilities, and may consume a lot of time and energy, and their income is not high.
The supervisor is also a kind of financial risk. Enterprises may face financial risks when hiring supervisors. If the supervisor fails to perform his duties or makes mistakes in operation, the enterprise will bear corresponding responsibilities and affect its development and reputation. Supervisors need to master a large number of laws and regulations and grasp the decision-making of enterprises. This kind of responsibility is very strict and heavy, and many people dare not take such responsibility.
The role of the supervisor:
Protect the interests of shareholders and prevent the board of directors from acting arbitrarily. In real life, companies, especially joint-stock companies, are getting larger and larger, and most shareholders are speculating, that is, shareholders are more concerned about their investment returns in the stock market than the operating conditions of the company, so shareholders and shareholders' meetings obviously cannot effectively exercise their supervision over the company's operation.
Based on this, it is an inevitable choice for the board of supervisors to rely on the supervision power entrusted by investors (shareholders) rather than shareholders to protect the interests of shareholders and prevent the board of directors from acting arbitrarily.
Safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the company and shareholders such as property safety. The focus of the check and balance mechanism of the board of supervisors is supervision, and the ultimate goal of supervision is to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the company and shareholders, mainly the rights and interests of property safety.
