Syariah Governance Framework
Programme Overview
One of the main differences between Islamic financial institutions and non-Islamic financial institutions is the requirement for the former to comply with the principles of Syariah in all its practices and dealings. Any violation of this requirement will lead to, not only, potential reprimand by the authority, but more severe than that, trust deficit from its stakeholders, especially the public. Hence, a proper framework to govern the compliance to principles of Syariah is of paramount importance to the practices of Islamic financial institutions.
This programme will expose participants to the various aspects of Syariah governance framework, including but not limited to, its importance; its differences and relations with corporate governance; regulations and guidelines that are available in various countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, UAE, Kuwait, Oman, Nigeria, etc. It will also shed light on the IFSB Syariah Governance Framework and AAOIFI Standard on Syariah Governance Framework.
Besides that, it will also discuss in detail, the main organs of good Syariah Governance Framework, Internal control functions, the difference between Syariah review and Syariah Audit and how to design and implement good Syariah review and Syariah Audit Plan.
