Corporate Governance and Disclosure in GCC Banks: Islamic Perspectives, Empirical Insights and Policy Implications (Emerald Studies in Islamic Economy and Finance)

Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) banks have seen recent regulatory shifts, evolving prominence and growing international scrutiny over governance practices; these recent developments have caused a gap in the literature.The research here fills in these gaps by integrating Islamic perspectives on governance and disclosure, a dimension often underexplored in empirical banking studies, in addition the author systematically explores both corporate governance (including board structure, audit committees, and internal controls) and Shariah governance (such as the structure of Shariah boards and the audit mechanisms used in Islamic banks).It further evaluates how these elements influence financial disclosure, stakeholder trust, and institutional resilience. The text offers a unique blend of theoretical insight, empirical analysis, and practical policy recommendations, making it valuable for academics, policymakers, financial regulators, and banking professionals.
