For example: they might buy luxurious corporate cars
or overindulge in expense-account diners
the interests of the mandator (the company, the shareholder) and the interests of the mandated (director) are contradictory
the director clearly ignores the common
good of the business, which should be his
ultimate goal

recovery plan , boards do act
Trang 17To solve the problem of the boss and the agent , the owner or major shareholder of the company may be dismissing
bad management, but it is extremely difficult

consistency and transparency
The SEC also prohibits insider trading, that is, the purchase or sale of shares based on
information that is not available to public investors
