Book excerpt: There is currently a debate in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is over how directors of publicly held companies can be held accountable. Before addressing this question, we should determine when it is that a director violates her or his duties. This study seeks to bring focus to the accountability system in Saudi Arabia. It investigates a legal defect in that system: the Saudi Companies Law incorporates standards of conduct but lacks standards of review. This study argues that although directors’ duties have been formulated so that there are areas left to be developed by courts, Saudi judges do not retain residual lawmaking powers which they could use to fill a regulatory vacuum. It builds upon empirical evidence to prove the underlying reasons that the context has changed, which ultimately has created the need to reform the Saudi fiduciary duties system. New cases in Saudi Arabia evoke some of the contours of Delaware corporate law. New cases have triggered standards of conduct violations that might be identical to fiduciary violations in Delaware. Therefore, this study proposes to transplant Delaware standards of review to Saudi Arabia. It argues that the contextual change in Saudi Arabia after the establishment of the Capital Market Authority would make this transplant more significant. Closer analysis suggests that both systems are consensus on the shareholder primacy model. This convergence on the shareholder model inevitably ensures a functional convergence in the long run.

Book excerpt: Good corporate governance ensures that companies use their resources more efficiently, protects minority shareholders, leads to better decision making, and improves relations with workers, creditors, and other stakeholders. It is an important prerequisite for attracting the patient capital needed for sustained long-term economic growth. This report provides an assessment of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) corporate governance policy framework. It highlights recent improvements in corporate governance regulation, makes policy recommendations, and provides investors with a benchmark against which to measure corporate governance in KSA. The corporate governance laws, regulations, and institutions that have been put in place generally reflect international good practice. In the wake of the market correction of 2006, market regulators focused on the need for better corporate governance via legal and institutional reforms. These included passing a Corporate Governance Regulation (CGR) for listed companies (2006), and further strengthening the supervisory functions across the financial sector. However, many of the laws and institutions are still relatively new and untested; awareness of the importance of good corporate governance is low, and implementation by companies in its early stages.

Book excerpt: Different studies show that partially privatized firms outperform their private peers in Saudi Arabia. Ownership of Saudi government of publicly traded companies may be feasible economically, but legally creates a hard case. The literature of corporate governance is still unable to absorb the implications of government ownership. This study attempts to examine those implications and its impacts on jurisdictions featuring dual judicial legal systems (administrative and civil courts) through presenting Saudi Arabia case. The Saudi government adopts the single tier board structure. Under this structure, only shareholders are entitled to elect board of directors. When the government holds a controlling stake, its leverage over a firm's affairs is difficult to challenge. Shedding lights on the Saudi experiment with government ownership, this study attempts to answer two questions that result from government ownership: procedurally, which court will review the government's actions, the administrative court or commercial court? Substantially, what law will govern these actions? The available evidence on the performance of firms partly owned by the government emphasizes the efficiency of government ownership. This implies that when the government exercises its rights as a shareholder it acts in a business-like capacity. Therefore, this study finds that its actions would be reviewed by the Commercial Courts and the Companies Act (Saudi Corporate Law) applies to it. Although there is no lawsuits against the government as a shareholder supporting this conclusion, but analyzing current regulations and rules would draw this conclusion. Finally, this article sketches policy implications scrutinizing potential proposals aimed at eliminating the complications of state intervention in the stock market.

Book excerpt: This work discusses the extent to which the standards of corporate governance in Saudi Arabia correlate to international standards. In order to answer this question the analytical study looks at corporate governance standards in the United Kingdom and the United States. It also looks at the concept of wealth preservation in Islamic Sharia, in addition to the concept of corporate governance in Islamic Sharia from the perspective of modern Sharia specialists. The study also deals with the way in which the European Union deals with corporate governance issues among EU member nations. The study concludes that although corporate governance measures in Saudi Arabia are being implemented, they can still go further to reach international standards. The study closes by emphasizing the role of the Capital Market Authority in advancing corporate governance in Saudi Arabia and makes suggestions and recommendations aimed at improvement of these standards and the creation of an attractive investment environment for the Saudi capital market.

Book excerpt: Diploma Thesis from the year 2009 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: Sehr Gut, University of Vienna, language: English, abstract: English: In today ́s business world corporate governance has become one of the most discussed and most important matters. Corporate governance criteria have been put right in the middle of investment decisions - especially in emerging markets. In addition to that, a series of events like business scandals, financial crises or business failures in the last 20 years has made corporate governance a key point in the business community in emerging markets, developing countries and economies in transition. There exists no general definition for the term corporate governance. Basically it can be viewed as a set of principles and rules by which a company is directed and controlled. Many countries have developed good corporate governance principles to improve the relationship between the shareholders of a company and the management. Factors like financial disclosure, more rights for shareholders and independent boards are crucial for investors who are looking for a stable growth of companies. Countries in the MENA region have put the implementation of such sound corporate governance codes in the middle of their agenda. Their aim is to create better economies and consequently a more attractive investment climate for possible investors in the future. This thesis tries to give the reader an insight into today ́s state of corporate governance in the Middle East and North Africa countries. The discussion is based on a survey which has been undertaken by the Hawkamah Institute for corporate governance in Dubai which focuses on the establishment of good corporate governance codes in this region.
