Question
Justify the following statement:
The Board of Directors are the elected representatives of the shareholders.

(1) In a joint stock company, there is a separation of ownership from the management. Although the shareholders are the owners of the company, they never participate in the management. The shareholders elect their representatives from amongst themselves. The elected representatives are called ‘directors’. The directors form themselves into a body called a Board of Directors. Thus, the Board of Directors is the elected representatives of the shareholders.
