- An efficient corporate governance system is a common goal pursued by all capital markets in the world. Therefore, internal monitoring mechanism are extremely curcial. Corporate governance internal monitoring mechanism are categorized to one-tier system, two-tier system and blended system. Each system has its advantage and disadvantages, which are related to its capital market structure in each jurisdiction, and no other system is absolutely superior to another. The Taiwanese internal corporate governance mechanism system was two-tier system, which is similiar to the Japanese and German system originally. The company has supervisors and a board of directors, and the supervisors independently supervise the board of directors.. In response to international capital market trends, the internal corporate governance system of the public listed companies in Taiwan shifted from two-tier to one-tier board in 2006, introducing audit committees composed of independent directors, which became comprehensive by 2022. The shift from the two-tier system, where independent supervisors perform supervising functions, to the one-tier system with audit committees has raised applicability issues. In recent years, amid corporate control management battles, it has become common for independent directors to convene extraordinary general meetings independently. This paper reviews the Securities and Exchange Act 2023 amendment to limit the right to convene shareholder meetings of the independent director and the court judgments towards it. There are many scholarly reservations regarding whether this amendment can strengthen corporate governance in our country, but it seems not optimistic. This paper
introduces the right to convene shareholder meetings in Australian corporate law and argues that the core issues should be for a proper purpose and for the company's best interests. This amendment might fail to achieve its legislative goal. To achieve the goal, the content and standard of fiduciary duties and the right of shareholders to convene meetings should be examined to enhance the efficiency of the corporate governance system.
