Bus/Financial - Finance (general) / Articles of Association
English term or phrase: Board of Managing Directors
Part of the document "Articles of Association" of a bank.

III. Board of Managing Directors
Article 4 - Composition and representation
(1) The Board of Managing Directors shall have at least three members. The Supervisory Board shall determine the number of members of the Board of Managing Directors, appoint the members and nominate the Chairman of the Board of Managing Directors. The appointment of deputy members of the Board of Managing Directors is permissible.

Should this be translated "Direktion" or "Bestyrelse". I am confused, because I have another text (Commercial Register) for the same bank, where they only mention "The Board", which I would definitely translate into "Bestyrelse". Maybe these two Boards mentioned are not the same kind of Board?

board of managing directors
Direktion


Explanation:
As the board of managing directors have an executive (active) role it would be more appropriate to refer to them as "direktionen" rather than "bestyrelsen". I include a link from a bank with a Board of MDs.
