This research aims to introduce the principles of Banking Governance, and how the
Syrian Industrial Bank, in particular, meets the requirements of Banking Governance in
the Governance’s guidebook issued by the Monetary and Credit Council, resolutio
n No.
(498) for the year 2009 at conventional Banks in Syrian Arab Republic. The results show
that there is a lack of commitment by the Industrial Bank with respect to some procedures
in the Governance's guidebook, such as the lack of commitment by the Board of Directors
in doing tasks and taking responsibilities, the absence of specialized committees for risk
management, governance, and awards, misapplying the principles of disclosure and
transparency by the Interior Control, and finally the need to increase trust and credibility
with stockholders. Hence, the recommendations proposed reflect the results obtained.
