Yes -Click Company Law No
40/2007
Yes Given Indonesia is
a Civil Law
Country that
adopts the 2-tier
board structure,
the answer to this
question is “YES”.
This question is
made by using the
approach of
anglo-saxon legal
system (common
law) by utilizing
the terms of CEO
and Chairman of
Board of Directors
where the CEO is
responsible to the
Board of
Directors, and
Chairman of the
Board of Directors
heads the Board
of Directors itself.
This is not
relevant to
Indonesia that
uses the civil law
system that uses
the terms of the
Board of Directors
which is headed
by a President
Director and
Board of
Commissioners
that is headed by
a President
Commissioner.
Consequently, in
order to respond
to this question,
the following
question needs to
be read and
understood as
followsa: Must
the President
Director and
President
Commissioner of
a company be two
different persons?
And the answer is
“Yes” as according
to Article 92 (1) of
the Law No.
40/2007 on

Company
operation and

Company Law, the
Board of
Commissioners’
role is to
supervise the
company’s
operation as well
as to provide
recommendation
and advice to the
Board of
Directors. In this
case, due to the
clear different
functions,
appointing the

Commissioner of
a Company is not
allowed.

which uses the
term of “Board of

this question has
to be read in the
context of

14 on the Board
of Directors and
