Remuneration paid to administration is frequently a point of controversy between shareholders and management because shareholders don’t get to see the company’s performance until the financial statements are presented to them at the annual general meeting, and it is at that meeting that they are supposed to review and approve the remuneration to be paid to managing directors or managers.

Additionally, remuneration is an above-the-line item in the profit and loss account, limiting the potential profits for distribution to shareholders. As a result, they aim to ensure that managerial people are compensated appropriately and by their performance.
