In August 2019, the Wall Street Journal published an article regarding the rampant accounting fraud, financial reporting improprieties, and securities violations that occurs in the Chinese capital markets. Many companies in China have structures that are not transparent with tightly held shareholder and management control, which is a consequence of the greater proportion of family-run companies. Many of these family-owned companies have major shareholders filling senior management positions, and it is not unusual for the largest such shareholder to be both chief executive officer (CEO) and Chairman of the company. Independent directors are often not independent but are friends of the family. Sometimes, members of the family management team will even be on the audit committee. In addition, it is also common to find that suppliers and customers have close relations, providing substantial opportunity for improper conduct. Most disturbing is that, sometimes, the attitude of the Chairman has is that this is his company and he can do what he wants with it, usually to the detriment of other lenders, creditors or shareholders. The maximum fine for false financial disclosures is 600,000 yuan ($87,000), while the top criminal punishment for hiding or destroying accounting records is a prison term of five years and a fine of up to 200,000 yuan ($29,000). Required: Choose from among the corporate governance participants listed below the one participant you believe can potentially have the greatest impact on improving corporate governance in Chinese companies. Defend your choice.
