Respondents, and only 5 of them were excluded due to their invalidity. The study concluded that there are no obstacles to applying banking governance in the Iraqi banking sector. The study recommended applying the principles of banking governance in all banks, and increasing the awareness and culture of bank employees about the importance of banking governance.
