remuneration (noun, re-mu-ner-a-tion, \ rɪˌmjuːnəˈreɪʃn \) directors (noun, di-rec-tors, \ dəˈrektərz \)
Definition: is the process of compensating both executive and non-executive directors either by paying them a pre-established sum or by allowing the usage of the company’s property as a subject of an agreement between them and the organization. The extent of remuneration can’t surpass the amount formulated in the articles of association, as the board has the right to sue the directors if the latter has exceeded the said amount or took a larger than permitted portion of the profit instead of allocating it as dividends. Additionally, stakeholders have the power to refuse remuneration if they don’t deem the directors worthy of being compensated.
