A fiduciary is someone who has undertaken to act for and on behalf of another in a particular matter in circumstances which give rise to a relationship of trust and confidence (Bristol & West Building Society v Mothew [1998] Ch 1 per Millett LJ at p. 18). (Stephen W. Mayson, Derek French, dan Christopher L. Ryan, Company Law, London: Blackstone Press Limited, 2001, hlm.429).

Hubungan antara direksi dan perseroan selain didasarkan hubungan kerja, direksi juga memiliki hubungan fidusia dengan perseroan. Direksi memiliki kedudukan fidusia (fiduciary position) di dalam perseroan. (Khairandy, op. cit.,hlm 155 mengutip Jeswald W.Salacuse, Corporate Governance inthe New Country, Company Lawyer, 2004)., hlm. 82. (Khairandy, op. cit., hlm. 204 mengutip Simon Fisher, et al., Corporation Law, (Australia: Butterworths, 2001), hlm. 136).

One party, for example a corporate trust company or the trust department of a bank, holds a fiduciary relation or acts in a fiduciary capacity to another, such as one whose funds are entrusted to it for investment. In a fiduciary relation one person, in a position of vulnerability, justifiably reposes confidence, good faith, reliance and trust in another whose aid, advice or protection is sought in some matter. In such a relation good conscience requires one to act at all times for the sole benefit and interests of another, with loyalty to those interests.

Dalam hubungan seperti di atas, dapat dikatakan bahwa antara direksi dengan perseroan telah lahir suatu fiduciary relationship, dimana dalam hubungan ini terdapat satu pihak yang mempunyai kewajiban untuk melakukan suatu tindakan semata-mata untuk kepentingan pihak yang lainnya. Fiduciary relationship melahirkan fiduciary duty. A fiduciary duty is a legal or ethical relationship of confidence or trust between two or more parties, most commonly a fiduciary and a principal.

Fiduciary duty merupakan tanggung jawab dan kewajiban direksi terhadap perseroan oleh karena itu hanya perseroan yang berhak untuk meminta direksi melaksanakan tanggung jawab berdasarkan fiduciary relationship. Dengan kata lain direksi hanya bertanggung jawab terhadap perseroan, bukan terhadap pemegang saham maupun kreditor. Fiduciary duty oleh Black’s Law Dictionary diartikan sebagai a duty to act with the highest degree of honesty and loyalty toward another person and in the best interests of other person (such as the duty that one partner owes to another). (Garner, op. cit., hlm. 545).

Berdasarkan fiduciary duty, direksi suatu perseroan diberi kepercayaan yang tinggi oleh perseroan untuk mengelola suatu perusahaan. Dalam hal ini, direksi harus memiliki standar integritas dan loyalitas yang tinggi, tampil serta bertindak untuk kepentingan perseroan, secara bona fides. (Khairandy, op. cit., hlm. 207).
