Regional Relevance

With listings accelerating on the Saudi Exchange, ADX, and DFM, governance maturity is a critical success factor.

Boardroom Tensions

• Is our governance maturity aligned with our valuation ambitions?
• Is the Audit Committee truly “IPO-ready” for the scrutiny of public markets?
• Are our disclosure and internal controls robust enough for investor and regulatory scrutiny?

Discussion Areas

• Governance transformation pre-listing: The journey from private to public company governance standards.
• Audit, risk & disclosure expectations: Meeting the requirements of institutional investors and regulators.
• Managing the “IPO window”: Preparing the board for the transition.

Outcome

A practical board-level IPO governance readiness checklist to navigate the listing process with confidence.
