Structure of CBK
A business structure indicates the category of the institution that remains legally
recognized in a given jurisdiction as well as featured by the legal description of that specific
category. Common examples of business structure are corporation, non-profits, holding
companies, and partnerships. The CBA remains Australian multinational bank with business
across many countries such as New Zealand, Asia, the United Kingdom, as well as United States.

BUSINESS CASE ANALYSIS 3
This bank offers various financial services including fund management, retail business as well as
institutional insurance, banking, and superannuation. CBA was established as a government-
owned trading as well as saving bank. This organization is a locally owned public organization
that mainly obtains its revenue from the provision of banking services as well as other financial
services in Australia, as well as other different parts of the world. Therefore, it is true that the
CBA is a public company.
Many researchers argue that governance structure remains the system by which
organizations are controlled and directed. Boards of directors remain accountable for the
governance of their organizations. It is true that Board of Directors at the CBA represents the
membership of the institution. The company’s board sets in procedures, policies, long-term
planning and values to attain the mission of the institution. The board of the commonwealth bank
of Australia does this via a governance model or structure.
