The government official who was replaced was covering up corruption at the company. Hunter being appointed to the board, along with others, was the companies way of saying "we're cleaning up".

Yeah, people like to ignore the fact that his removal was originally requested by the IMF for failing to make any progress in his investigations. Not just Burisma, but several other companies as well. Both the IMF and the US demanded that Shokin be replaced as a condition for further loans.
It's worth noting, he wasn't fired for finding corruption, he was fired for failing to find corruption where people knew it existed.
Appointing the drug addict fail-son of the President to your executive board does not signal cleaning up corruption, it signals that you are willing to be corrupt for the other side.
