Why Governance Intelligence Matters

The QFMA 2025 Governance Code for Listed Companies is raising governance standards across Qatar’s capital markets. Boards are now required to comply with stricter rules on independence, insider tracking, committee structures, disclosure, and — for the first time — ESG and sustainability reporting.

While the obligations are clear, implementation can quickly become complex. Boards, company secretaries, and compliance teams must:

  • Track dozens of new requirements with different deadlines.
  • Update and store policies, charters, and reports in one place.
  • Monitor board composition, independence, and insider compliance in real time.
  • Prepare for annual governance and sustainability disclosures.

For many companies, these tasks are spread across spreadsheets, emails, and disconnected documents — leaving room for oversight and risk.

That’s why we created GovernLine, a technology-enabled solution that centralizes governance compliance into one intelligent, easy-to-use platform.

What GovernLine Does

GovernLine provides boards and governance officers with a real-time view of their compliance status under the QFMA 2025 Code.

Key Features:
