单选题

Which of the following is least likely an indication of good corporate governance practices?（）

A、 The board typically supports management decisions.
B、 The board only acts in the best interest of the shareholders.
C、 The firm's operating and financial activities are reported in a timely manner to the shareholders.

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】

Good corporate governance practices dictate that the board act independently of management, so support of management decisions cannot be taken as an indicator of good corporate governance practices. If management is taking actions that are not in shareholders' best interests, good corporate governance dictates that an independent board will go against management and protect shareholders' interests.
