Management board – The management board of a stock corporation deals with the day-to-day business and other affairs of the company and represents the stock corporation externally. The supervisory board is a legally prescribed self-controlling body that appoints and monitors the individual members of the management board and, in case of doubt, also removes them. Furthermore, it is responsible for the written reporting of the annual financial statements as well as for annual reports. The general meeting acts as the decision-making body of the stock corporation. Here you can find all legal forms and here you can go back to the overview AG.
Board of Directors – The management body
Instead of managing directors, a stock corporation has an executive board consisting of at least one managing person. As a management body, the executive board forms the metaphorical head of the company and thus has management authority in the internal relationship and representation authority in the external relationship. The Management Board is appointed by the Supervisory Board for a term of five years and is obliged to report to the Supervisory Board.

Tasks of the Management Board – management, annual balance sheet, management report & Co
The primary task of the management board of an AG is the independent management of the company. Contextually, it establishes the annual balance sheet, prepares the profit and loss account (P&L) and prepares a management report that depicts the company’s situation – current and future – in a realistic relationship to possible opportunities and risks. Formally, the Management Board issues the invitation to the Annual General Meeting and can submit proposals to the Annual General Meeting on the appropriation of profits. It is also the only body which, in a worst-case scenario, may file an application for the opening of insolvency proceedings.

Upon taking office, they may not simultaneously act as a member of the supervisory board of their company and are also prohibited by the prohibition of cross-linking from being appointed as a member of the supervisory board of another company. As compensation, each member of the Management Board receives a fixed salary and also receives a so-called bonus, i.e. a share in the annual profit.
