What this page covers
Composite governance risk scores for GCC-listed companies. Board independence, CEO/Chair separation, attendance, auditor independence, committee coverage, and pay transparency.
SouqData covers 11 GCC + MENA exchanges (TDWL, DFM, ADX, QSE, BK, MSX, BHB, ASE, BIST, ISX, EGX). Coverage depth varies by exchange and data category — gaps are surfaced in the page's data displays rather than hidden. Underlying data refreshes daily via an automated pipeline; per-exchange ingestion runs on filing-driven cadences.
Governance Risk Score
Live composite governance quality assessment for 473 GCC-listed companies across 8 dimensions. Scores update automatically as board data changes.
SouqData scores governance quality across 577 GCC-listed companies using an 8-factor model weighted to 100 points: board independence (20pts), committee coverage (15pts), board meeting attendance (15pts), board size appropriateness (10pts), CEO/chair separation (10pts), auditor independence (10pts), credential density (10pts), and pay transparency (10pts). The model is aligned with OECD Principles of Corporate Governance, IFC guidelines, and GCC BDI standards.
Source: SouqData governance risk model. Methodology aligned with OECD, IFC, CMA (Saudi Arabia), SCA (UAE), and GCC BDI governance frameworks.

Sector Comparison
Methodology
Each company is scored across 8 governance dimensions using publicly available board data. Scores are computed live — they update automatically as new data is ingested, with no manual intervention. Our framework is aligned with jurisdiction-specific GCC governance codes and international best practices.
Board Independence
Proportion of independent directors — all GCC codes require minimum one-third (CMA/SCA/QFMA)
Committee Coverage
Presence of audit, remuneration, and nomination committees (required by CMA Art. 54-56)
Meeting Attendance
Average board meeting attendance rate — reflects director engagement
Board Size
Optimal range: 7-12 members (GCC code guidance, IFC best practice)
CEO/Chair Separation
Whether the CEO and board chair are different people (CMA Art. 24, SCA Art. 14)
Auditor Independence
Non-audit fee ratio — lower ratio = more independent external auditor (CMA Art. 81)
Board Gender Diversity
Female representation on board — aligned with G20/OECD Principles Ch. VI and MEIRA guidance
Credential Density
Professional qualifications per board member (GCC BDI certification, CFA, CPA, etc.)
Pay Transparency
Level of executive compensation disclosure (CMA Art. 93, SCA Art. 27)
Ownership Diversification
Lower ownership concentration (HHI) = better minority protection (IFC methodology)
RPT Disclosure
Related-party transaction disclosure quality + AGM approval markers (CMA Art. 71-72)
Disclosure Timeliness
Annual filing speed vs CMA windows: ≤30d=5pts, ≤45d=4pts, ≤90d=2pts (CMA Art. 89)
Regulatory Framework
Our governance scoring model incorporates requirements from each GCC jurisdiction's corporate governance code, supplemented by international frameworks. Thresholds are calibrated per-exchange — for example, all GCC codes require at least one-third independent directors, compared to majority independence in OECD markets.

Frequently Asked Questions
▶How is the Governance Risk Score calculated?
The score is a composite of 8 weighted factors: Board Independence (20 pts), Committee Coverage (15 pts), Board Attendance (15 pts), Board Size (10 pts), CEO/Chair Separation (10 pts), Auditor Independence (10 pts), Credential Density (10 pts), and Pay Transparency (10 pts). Maximum score is 100.
▶Which governance codes do you follow?
We align with each exchange's national governance code — Saudi CMA Regulations for TDWL, UAE SCA Governance Guide for DFM/ADX, QFMA Code for QSE, and equivalent codes for BK, BHB, MSX, and ASE. All GCC codes require at least one-third independent directors. We also reference G20/OECD Principles and IFC standards as international baselines.
▶Why do some companies score 0 or show no score?
A score requires minimum board data — at least one director appointment with role information. Companies with only executive data (CEO/CFO) and no board-level appointments cannot be scored. Coverage varies by exchange: QSE and BK have the highest data density; BIST and ISX are not yet covered.
▶How often are scores updated?
Scores are computed live from the latest data. When new director appointments, committee memberships, attendance records, or auditor fee disclosures are ingested, scores update automatically within minutes.
▶How do you handle Islamic finance governance?
Shariah governance is assessed separately via our AAOIFI Standard No. 21 screening engine. Shariah board composition, independence, and advisory quality are tracked on dedicated pages. The GRS focuses on corporate board governance, which applies equally to conventional and Islamic companies.
▶Why is one-third independence the threshold instead of majority?
All GCC national governance codes set the minimum at one-third independent directors, reflecting the region's concentrated ownership structures (government, sovereign wealth funds, ruling families). This is lower than the OECD/US norm of majority independence. Our scoring awards maximum points for full independence but calibrates thresholds to GCC regulatory expectations.
▶Does the score account for ruling family or government directors?
The current 8-factor GRS treats all directors equally based on their declared independence status. Our separate PEP Screening tool identifies politically exposed persons (ruling family members, SWF representatives, government appointees) and our Governance Scorecard provides a more nuanced view of effective independence.
▶Is this a recommendation to buy or sell?
No. SouqData provides data analytics and governance assessment, not investment advice. Governance scores reflect observable board characteristics — they are one input among many for investment decisions. Always consult a licensed financial adviser.
