基金公司，集体撤销监事会！什么情况？

Core Viewpoint - Recent attention has been drawn to the cancellation of supervisory boards by some fund companies, which reflects a shift in governance structures in response to regulatory changes [1][2]. Governance Structure Adjustments - Fund companies like Fangzheng Fubang Fund and Yingda Fund have announced the cancellation of their supervisory boards, transferring the supervisory powers to the audit committee of the board of directors, aligning with the revised Company Law effective July 2024 [3][4]. - The new Company Law allows companies to establish audit committees within the board to exercise the powers of supervisory boards, potentially leading to more effective governance [3][4]. Retained Powers for Effective Supervision - Although supervisory boards have been dissolved, their powers remain intact, now exercised by the audit committee, which is crucial for preventing internal corruption and abuse of power [4]. - The historical ineffectiveness of supervisory boards in fund companies has led to issues such as internal power struggles and misconduct, which may improve with the new structure [4]. Internal Governance Issues - A study published in "China Securities and Futures" indicated that from 2015 to 2022, over 65% of the 159 fund companies analyzed had violations, primarily due to inadequate internal controls and regulatory non-compliance [5]. - A report from Shanghai Yuantai Law Firm found that 46 fund companies had penalty records, with frequent violations related to internal control deficiencies and governance issues [6]. Collaborative Measures for Effective Governance - The internal governance of fund companies involves various stakeholders, and alongside the cancellation of supervisory boards, other institutional collaborations are necessary [7]. - The "Action Plan for Promoting High-Quality Development of Public Funds" emphasizes revising governance standards and enhancing the role of major shareholders in governance structures [7][8]. - Enhancing the role of independent directors is also crucial, requiring mechanisms that ensure their independence and accountability [8].
