STRUCTURE OF CORPORATION

 

 

All private corporations have the same basic structure. They are made up of the shareholders who own the company and set the company policy and appoint top management.

 

 

The Shareholders:

          

The shareholders in the corporation do not do much, they just attend the quarterly Shareholders and Board of Directors meeting. If the Shareholders cannot attend this meeting, they can vote by proxy.

 

A proxy is a statement which authorizes someone else to vote for the shareholder. In most cases, proxies are requested by the management of a corporation.

 

 

Board of Directors:

 

Board of Directors in most companies in Cambodia range the size from 5 to 7 persons. The Board of Directors are ultimately responsible for the management of the corporation. The Management of Board normally includes the following:

 

1-      Electing the corporationˇ¦s top officers, the most important of whom is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
