May breaches of duty by members of the board of directors remain confidential? This is often the only way to avoid further damage to the company. However, appropriate information is a prerequisite for shareholders to be able to exercise their rights in the context of board liability. In this context Philipp Pauschinger examines the duties to provide information under stock corporation law and develops a system of tiered shareholder information based on the reporting obligations of the supervisory board, accounting regulations, the shareholders' right to ask questions in the general meeting and the report of the special auditor. In a further step, he shows how this system strengthens the liability of the executive bodies in the company's interest.

For transnational mergers of listed corporations, the merger of equals procedure is chosen frequently. This thesis comprehensively deals with the delimitation of the competences of the board of directors and the general meeting of a listed stock corporation in the case of the merger of equals. It is examined whether the conclusion of the business combination agreement requires the approval of the general meeting or whether it falls exclusively within the competence of the board of directors. Furthermore, it is examined whether the merger as such falls within the competences of the general meeting, in particular whether the merger establishes unwritten competences of the general meeting.

This study investigates the efficiency of the Shariah supervisory board as a corporate governance mechanism in Islamic banks. The authors mainly seek to examine the effect of the Shariah board's composition (size and academic background of its members) on the performance of Islamic banks. They also try to highlight the transmission channels explaining this effect, and compare the efficiency of the Shariah board with that of traditional corporate governance mechanisms, namely the board of directors. The empirical investigation is based on a sample of 72 Islamic banks from 19 countries. Estimation results suggest that the Shariah board positively affects the Islamic banks performance through the number of Islamic Shariah scholars. This effect is mainly due to the size and cost transmission channels. These results are robust to different performance measures. On the other hand, results show that the board of directors' size produces a positive effect on a bank's performance, offering evidence for complementarity between traditional and Islamic governance mechanisms.

As has been discussed in Chapter 2 concerning the giving of notice of meetings to convene a valid general meeting of members, the necessity to give due and proper notice of a meeting is a basic requirement for convening a meeting that can proceed to transact lawful business. In this chapter the requirements of notice of meetings are discussed with regard to meetings of the board of directors. The requirements of giving due notice in relation to meetings of directors are less stringent than those relating to meetings of members, for in relation to the latter the governing legislation prescribes requisite time periods for certain categories of meeting and the passing of certain types of resolutions.

The two key organs of a company are the board of directors and the members of the company exercising their constitutional rights in a general meeting. Company law attaches great significance to the due convening of general meetings of shareholders. The general meeting is the forum for considering many of the essential matters relating to the company’s affairs including increasing or reducing the share capital of the company, changes to the memorandum or articles of association, alterations to the composition of the board of directors, considering the content of the company’s financial statements and approving dividends.
