Summary: | 碩士 === 雲林科技大學 === 會計系研究所 === 97 === The internal organization of incorporation in our country adopts double track system with stockholders’ meeting, board of directors and supervisors such three institutions. Since the supervisors cannot develop original supervision efficiency, we therefore follow systems of America and Japan to enhance company governance of listed companies. In 2006, the amendment to the Securities and Exchange Act was passed and new systems such as independent director and audit committee were formally introduced. There are total 34 companies successively establish audit committee pursuant to paragraph 4 of article 14 of Security and Exchange Act since promulgation of the Act. During that period, many scholars and businesses had proposed many opinions aiming at audit committee. Some people consider that independent director may not be more independent as comparing to supervisors and replacing supervisors with audit committee is not necessary to solve problems in previous supervisor system. However, certain people still believe that introduction of audit committee deserve public support regarding review of internal audit, internal control, major finance and related party transactions.
The purpose of this article is to introduce and compare systems in America, Japan and our country, meanwhile making analysis and review of problems encountered at the beginning of implementing audit committee system and proposing recommendations. It is expected that amendment can be made properly in the future to gradually carry out the functions of audit committee.
