This thesis talks about the government-corporate governance in the Sultanate
of Oman and it is one of the concerns that the government has given great attention
recently in terms of the legislative framework and legal regulation. This is due to
the importance of these companies in contributing to the diversification of income
sources for the national economy.
The thesis problem discusses how the legal system of the government-corporate
governance in the Sultanate achieves the principles of governance and transparency
in the companies whether fully or partially owned by the government, and it also
examines the role of the auditing parties in overseeing the governance system.
The thesis concludes with many findings and recommendations. The most prominent
results are that Oman's legal system has regulated the legal structures for the boards
of government companies in various legislations; the existence of a correlation
between the principles of government-corporate governance and the principles
established by the Anti-Corruption Agreement, and that the governance system is
one of the means of attracting investments. As for the thesis recommendations, the
researcher recommends gathering all legal texts related to government-corporate
governance in one single law and proposes to develop a special indicator to measure
government companies' commitment to the principles of governance.
