Corporate Governance Review in Oman

Strong corporate governance is the backbone of sustainable and successful businesses. It defines how companies are directed and controlled, emphasizing transparency, accountability, and ethical decision-making. By establishing a structured governance framework, organizations can align operations with stakeholder interests, reduce risks, and foster long-term growth.

In Oman, corporate governance holds heightened significance as businesses strive to align with the country’s Vision 2040, promoting sustainability and economic diversification. Adherence to governance frameworks mandated by regulatory bodies, such as the Capital Market Authority (CMA), the Ministry of Commerce, Industry, and Investment Promotion (MOCIIP), and the Central Bank of Oman (CBO), is crucial to navigating the evolving business landscape. 

At Al Mawaleh, we specialize in corporate governance review services in Oman, offering customized assessments, actionable recommendations, and continuous support to strengthen governance systems.
