| Tiivistelmä: | The past decade has witnessed a renewed emphasis on the quality of board governance worldwide. In the wake of a series of governance reports, particular interest has focused on the role and effectiveness of non-executive board members. This study seeks to add to our understanding of the governance role of non-executive directors by examining the use and usefulness of non- executives in insurance companies. The focus on the insurance industry, which includes both proprietary (stock) and mutual companies, allows to the authors examine the importance of board governance in the context of different ownership structures. The authors' results suggest that mutual insurers utilize a greater proportion of non-executive directors. |
