The executive team at KB is led by Sandra Renwood who is president, CEO and chairman of the board of directors. This personal union is not precluded by the SOX regulations. But it is also not encouraged by American and international corporate governance principles. Even more, ICGN (2014, p.9) discourages that a former CEO becomes chairman after his executive term, let alone during the term. The UN (2006, p.12) claims that separation is considered desirable to prevent one person from incorporating too much power at the top of the organisation. CII (2015, p.6) asks to combine the roles in "very limited circumstances" only. Separation of duties is considered best practice acc. to the Combine Code (FRC 2014, p.7-8).
One of the problems under the current system at KB is that no board meetings without the CEO can be conducted in order to evaluate her performance, as asked for by ICGN (2014, p.10). If that were the case the board probably could be more challenging in assessing the executives and their business conduct.
