The Capital Market Authority (CMA) is the principal regulatory body in charge of policing corporate governance in Saudi Arabia that develops regulations, rules, and recommendations. The Corporate Governance Regulations (CGR) and Converged Generation Communications (CGC) published by the CMA, offer a thorough framework for corporate governance procedures in Saudi Arabia, including auditing, internal controls, risk management, disclosure and transparency, function and make-up of the board of directors, shareholder rights and treatment, disclosure and openness, and risk management as the main topics.<\/p>\n
