Abstract

This study aims to review and discuss the corporate governance standards issued by the regulatory and supervisory authorities of the state of Qatar. The study discusses similarities and differences between the criteria issued by Qatar Central Bank and Qatar Financial Markets Authority. It discusses the ability and the extent to which the Islamic banks in Qatar can apply these standards. The researcher follows a series of approaches to achieve the objectives of the study. She uses a descriptive approach to study the elements of the subject, and to collect relevant information. Researcher uses the analytical approach to analyze annual governance reports issued by the largest Islamic banks listed on Qatar Stock Exchange. She compares them with governance standards issued by Qatar Central Bank and Qatar Financial Markets Authority. The study concludes that Islamic banks can apply standards of governance issued by supervisory authorities which they are subject to, and the rate of application in these banks is increasing from year to another. The study proves that there is a difference between the governance standards issued by Qatar Central Bank and Qatar Financial Markets Authority. The study concludes that the most prominent reason these standards are not applied is that the principle that stipulates the inclusion of independent members, and non-executive directors in the board of directors and committees is not followed. The researcher concludes with a number of recommendations including the need to include Shariah standards in the instructions of Qatar Financial Markets Authority as most Islamic banks are listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange. The researcher calls for adding more independent and non-executives members in banks' boards to ensure the interests of all parties.
