WithrespecttoSOes,OecD(2016)adds,“Disclosurerequirementsshouldnotcompromise essential corporate confidentiality and should not put SOes at a disadvantage in relation to private competitors.” 21. It should be noted that SIFs and SWFs may not always meet their own standards for publishing annual reports. maire, mazarei, and Truman (2021), for instance, find that 50 of the 64 SWFs covered by the fifth Truman SWF Scoreboard say they publish annual reports, but the authors could not find recent reports for 2 of them, and for 14 the most recent were from 2018. In addition, the authors found that 1 of the 19 SIFs/SWFs on the scoreboard does not say whether it issues a report and 4 issue only a summary report.
Recent reports were available for 6 SIFs and only 2018 reports for 9 of them. 22. See the ISIF publications web page (https://isif.ie/news/publications). 23.

Senegal’s Fonds Souverain d’Investissements Stratégiques (Sovereign Fund for Strategic
Investments). 26. As Alsweilem and Rietveld (2017) explain with respect to SWFs, “expectations for public accountability add an often elaborate oversight infrastructure, involving a public auditor, a national regulator, external auditors, and sometimes a separate supervisory board (in addition to the board of directors).” 27. See the ISIF Santiago Principles Self-Assessment 2019 (https://www.ifswf.org/assessment /ireland-strategic-investment-fund). 28. According to India’s companies Act 2013, Article 2.45, a government company is “any company in which not less than fifty-one per cent of the paid-up share capital is held by the central government, or by any State government or governments, or partly by the central government and partly by one or more State governments, and includes a company which is a subsidiary company of such a government company.” Per Article 143.5, the comptroller and Auditor general appoints the auditor for government companies. 29. According to generally accepted principles and practices 23.0, the assets and investment performance (absolute and relative to benchmarks, if any) of the SWF should be measured and reported to the owner according to clearly defined principles or standards. 30. See the ISIF Santiago Principles Self-Assessment 2019 (https://www.ifswf.org/assessment /ireland-strategic-investment-fund). See, for example, nTmA (2020, 20–29). 31.
