shows whether a code of corporate governance exists in the MENA region countries. It also provides the IIA
status for these countries. Only three countries have no code of governance (i.e., Djibouti, Kuwait and Libya) despite several
corporate collapses worldwide. The table also shows that half the countries in the MENA region have an IIA chapter,
reiterating the importance of IIA membership to IAs in growing their support systems, advancing their knowledge base,
boosting confidence, and ultimately promoting value adding skills. Interestingly, the three countries that do not have a code
of governance are among the countries that do not have an IIA chapter.
