Accountable Executive

Q7.  In Transport Canada’s guidance material entitled Implementation Procedures Guide for Air Operators and Approved Maintenance Organizations (TP 14343) there is an “Accountable Executive Selection Flow Chart”. One of the questions in the diamond asks if a board of directors controls the organization. What does controlled mean?

The question in the flow chart is intended to determine if the organization operates under the governance of a board of directors as opposed to any other organizational structure. The use of the word "controlled" is not the determining factor albeit it is whether or not the organization has a board of directors.
