| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | *it impacts the reputation of the islamic financial institution and deteriorates reliance of the depositors investors customers and other stakeholders in the long term and | |
| − | + | *shariah non compliance risk what why i shariah non compliance risk is a significant risk for an islamic financial institution from two perspectives | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | *shariah compliance assurance for islamic financial institutions i rules regulations and standards might not work unless and until an effective network of check and balance is established to ensure compliance of the same in letter and spirit | |
| − | + | *i shariah compliance cannot be ensured merely on the basis of approval of products by the shariah supervisory boards and the shariah advisors | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | *shariah compliance review report of shariah supervisory board or the shariah advisor may or may not be based on internal shariah review | |
| − | + | *shariah compliance audit by the external auditors of the islamic financial institutions | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | *shariah compliance review by shariah advisor a issues i competence from assurance perspective i R without any disregard to the individuals and not as a generalized rule it needs to be realized that the jurists sitting on the board or working as shariah advisors possess little knowledge about the accounting and auditing and more importantly the operations of the financial institutions | |
| − | + | *presentation by omar mustafa ansari a partner a ford rhodes sidat hyder co | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | *shariah compliance review by shariah advisor a issues i R consequently their compliance review generally remains limited to the extent of assurance of the legal form of transactions ie vetting of agreements and documents etc | |
| − | + | *i R on the contrary the operational matters which include the substance of the transaction might remain unattended because it is not the core competence of these respectable jurists | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | *shariah compliance review by shariah advisor a issues i management s attitude i R generally the management does not wish to bring each and every matter in the attention of the board or the advisor | |
| − | + | *i R accordingly unless they have enough time to review things on their own and they take reasonable interest in the same it is not possible for them to have a look on most of the operational matters | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | *shariah compliance review by shariah advisor a issues i independence i R although we don t have any doubt on the personal independence and integrity of these respectable jurists they would themselves appreciate that the work performed under one s guidance should always be counter checked by an independent person | |
| − | + | *i R particularly keeping in view the human tendency of errors it cannot be advised that the person supervising and monitoring the transactions is also entrusted to recheck and audit the same | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | *shariah compliance review by shariah advisor a issues i scarcity of resources time and skilled staff i R generally those on the shariah boards and on the seat of shariah advisors are busy guys | |
| − | + | *i R in addition they do not have sufficient budgets available for their departments nor an adequate number of skilled staff hired for the purpose of assisting them in the assurance work | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | *shariah compliance review by shariah advisor a issues i R consequently you can easily imagine that it is humanly not possible for a single person to perform a comprehensive shariah compliance audit of the operations of a full fledged islamic financial institution which may even have a number of branches | |
| − | + | *presentation by omar mustafa ansari a partner a ford rhodes sidat hyder co | |

| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | *shariah compliance audit by external auditors a issues i R according to aaoifi standards the auditor should to a limited extent ensure compliance with shariah requirements | |
| − | + | *but this is not being performed by external auditors as the rules do not provide any further detail | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | *you would appreciate that if the auditor is not equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge the output of the assignment might not be as good as may be expected from an experience auditor and i R since the scope of the audit is pre defined and the matter of permissibility of a transaction is generally subject to the opinions and perspectives of the shariah supervisory board or the shariah advisor the independence of the exercise to some extent remains in jeopardy | |
| − | + | *shariah compliance audit by external auditors a issues i R since the external auditor is also entrusted with the task of performing the shariah compliance audit his expertise in islamic finance is not ensured | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | *i R nevertheless since the results of such inspections are considered to be confined to the management of the bank and the state bank the benefits of such exercises cannot be forwarded to the general public | |
| − | + | *shariah compliance inspection by sbp issues i R this is a very good approach as it is independent and authoritative in nature | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | *shariah compliance inspection by sbp issues i R moreover such exercise is limited to the islamic commercial banks and the islamic banking branches of conventional commercial banks and consequently other financial institutions that are governed by the secp including islamic mutual funds modarabas takaful companies housing finance companies investment finance companies and leasing companies shall remain out of ambit of such exercise | |
| − | + | *presentation by omar mustafa ansari a partner a ford rhodes sidat hyder co | |
| − | |||
| − | + | *independent shariah compliance assurance by professionals i this approach is now being applied by a few islamic banks | |

| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | *shariah compliance rating of islamic financial institutions and products i R anyone having basic understanding of islamic finance would easily understand that generally all the products being launched by islamic financial institutions cannot be termed equivalent for shariah compliance purpose | |
| − | + | *i R there might be certain provisions in an ijara contract that may render it less desirable as compared to a similar ijara contract | |

| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | *shariah compliance rating of islamic financial institutions and products i R in addition to the products being launched by the islamic financial institutions that are subject to the approval of their respective shariah advisors and shariah supervisory boards there are certain islamic financial products that are launched by the conventional financial institutions or by various companies and even by the government | |
| − | + | *i R these products for example include the housing finance option offered by the house building finance corporation sukuks being issued by the government of pakistan and various government owned entities musharaka tfcs issued by the sitara energy and operating lease options offered by various leasing companies | |

| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | *shariah compliance rating of islamic financial institutions and products i R in view of the same it is imperative that a shariah compliance rating mechanism be introduced so that the general public may be able to differentiate between various products being launched | |
| − | + | *i R in addition this will encourage the financial institutions to continuously improve the purity factor in their financial products | |
| − | + | *i appointment composition and report i it is appointed by shareholders in agm upon recommendation of board of directors bod they may authorize bod to fix the remuneration of ssb | |
| − | + | *shari a supervisory board ssb i it is an independent body of specialized jurists in fiqh almua malat islamic commercial jurisprudence | |

| − | |||
| − | + | *shari a review i the objective of the shari a review is to ensure that the activities carried out by an ifi do not contravene the shari a | |
| − | + | *it is the responsibility of ssb to form and express an opinion on the extent of an ifi s compliance with the shari a | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | *the primary objective of internal shari a review is to ensure that the management of an ifi discharge their responsibilities in relation to the implementation of the shari a rules and principles as determined by the ifi s ssb | |
| − | + | *it shall be carried out by an independent division or part of internal audit department depending on the size of an ifi | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | *audit and governance committee agc i the importance of the agc for an ifi emanates from its role in i R achieving the fundamental objectives of an ifi by enhancing greater transparency and disclosure in financial reporting and i R enhancing the public s confidence of the ifi as genuine in its application of shari a rules and principles | |

- role of auditors and accountants in islamic finance i allah swt says in quran that allah doth command you to render back your trusts to those to whom they are due and when ye judge between people that ye judge with justice
- i according to the code of ethics for accountants and auditors of islamic financial institutions accounting duly including auditing a external as well as internal is one of the professions that is required by shariah as a fard kifaya
- i one of the critical issues the industry is facing is the matter of purity in transactions which in longer run will ensure reliance of muslim ummah in this model of islamic finance and banking
- purity of transactions and building reliance on islamic finance i islamic banking industry is presently growing at a very high pace
- strategy to build reliance on islamic finance and banking i a three fold strategy may help out the industry to ensure shariah compliance on an ongoing basis
- improved governance and shariah compliance assurance for islamic financial institutions and
- standardization of shariah compliance regulations for islamic finance i standardization is necessary to ensure that all the matters of islamic financial institutions are dealt with within a framework which is acceptable for all musli miss i internationally there have been a lot of efforts for standardization of practices being followed by various islamic financial institutions
- presentation by omar mustafa ansari a partner a ford rhodes sidat hyder co
- standardization of shariah compliance regulations for islamic finance i the most admirable job has been performed by i R the islamic fiqh academy of the organization of islamic countries and i R the accounting and auditing organization of islamic financial institutions aaoifi
- i in respect of governance and risk management islamic financial services board has also performed a commendable job
- i accounting auditing and governance standards aags are issued by aaoifi s accounting and auditing standards board whereas the shariah standards board issues the shariah standards
- introduction to aaoifi i aaoifi was established in in algiers under an agreement of association between a number of islamic financial institutions ifis
- i these boards have been established by choosing the experts of the fields from throughout the islamic world
- introduction to aaoifi i these boards have to date performed a remarkable job by issuing accounting governance auditing and shariah standards for islamic financial institutions
- i serves as an international standard setting body of regulatory and supervisory agencies that have vested interest in ensuring the soundness and stability of the islamic financial services industry
- i promotes the development of a prudent and transparent islamic financial services industry through introducing new or adapting existing international standards consistent with islamic shariah principles
- pakistan s perspective i accounting and financial reporting i R the institute of chartered accountants of pakistan has issued islamic financial accounting standards for ijara and murabaha which are under implementation stages
- these standards are approved by sbp and notified by secp
- i R a shariah compliance inspection mechanism is being introduced and a shariah compliance inspection manual has been developed
- presentation by omar mustafa ansari a partner a ford rhodes sidat hyder co
- pakistan s perspective i takaful i R takaful rules developed and now being reviewed for improvement
- i modarabas i R all model agreements and products are being reviewed from shariah compliance perspective
- it impacts the reputation of the islamic financial institution and deteriorates reliance of the depositors investors customers and other stakeholders in the long term and
- shariah non compliance risk what why i shariah non compliance risk is a significant risk for an islamic financial institution from two perspectives
- shariah compliance assurance for islamic financial institutions i rules regulations and standards might not work unless and until an effective network of check and balance is established to ensure compliance of the same in letter and spirit
- i shariah compliance cannot be ensured merely on the basis of approval of products by the shariah supervisory boards and the shariah advisors
- shariah compliance review report of shariah supervisory board or the shariah advisor may or may not be based on internal shariah review
- shariah compliance audit by the external auditors of the islamic financial institutions
- shariah compliance review by shariah advisor a issues i competence from assurance perspective i R without any disregard to the individuals and not as a generalized rule it needs to be realized that the jurists sitting on the board or working as shariah advisors possess little knowledge about the accounting and auditing and more importantly the operations of the financial institutions
- presentation by omar mustafa ansari a partner a ford rhodes sidat hyder co
- shariah compliance review by shariah advisor a issues i R consequently their compliance review generally remains limited to the extent of assurance of the legal form of transactions ie vetting of agreements and documents etc
- i R on the contrary the operational matters which include the substance of the transaction might remain unattended because it is not the core competence of these respectable jurists
- shariah compliance review by shariah advisor a issues i management s attitude i R generally the management does not wish to bring each and every matter in the attention of the board or the advisor
- i R accordingly unless they have enough time to review things on their own and they take reasonable interest in the same it is not possible for them to have a look on most of the operational matters
- shariah compliance review by shariah advisor a issues i independence i R although we don t have any doubt on the personal independence and integrity of these respectable jurists they would themselves appreciate that the work performed under one s guidance should always be counter checked by an independent person
- i R particularly keeping in view the human tendency of errors it cannot be advised that the person supervising and monitoring the transactions is also entrusted to recheck and audit the same
- shariah compliance review by shariah advisor a issues i scarcity of resources time and skilled staff i R generally those on the shariah boards and on the seat of shariah advisors are busy guys
- i R in addition they do not have sufficient budgets available for their departments nor an adequate number of skilled staff hired for the purpose of assisting them in the assurance work
- shariah compliance review by shariah advisor a issues i R consequently you can easily imagine that it is humanly not possible for a single person to perform a comprehensive shariah compliance audit of the operations of a full fledged islamic financial institution which may even have a number of branches
- presentation by omar mustafa ansari a partner a ford rhodes sidat hyder co
- shariah compliance audit by external auditors a issues i R according to aaoifi standards the auditor should to a limited extent ensure compliance with shariah requirements
- but this is not being performed by external auditors as the rules do not provide any further detail
- you would appreciate that if the auditor is not equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge the output of the assignment might not be as good as may be expected from an experience auditor and i R since the scope of the audit is pre defined and the matter of permissibility of a transaction is generally subject to the opinions and perspectives of the shariah supervisory board or the shariah advisor the independence of the exercise to some extent remains in jeopardy
- shariah compliance audit by external auditors a issues i R since the external auditor is also entrusted with the task of performing the shariah compliance audit his expertise in islamic finance is not ensured
- i R nevertheless since the results of such inspections are considered to be confined to the management of the bank and the state bank the benefits of such exercises cannot be forwarded to the general public
- shariah compliance inspection by sbp issues i R this is a very good approach as it is independent and authoritative in nature
- shariah compliance inspection by sbp issues i R moreover such exercise is limited to the islamic commercial banks and the islamic banking branches of conventional commercial banks and consequently other financial institutions that are governed by the secp including islamic mutual funds modarabas takaful companies housing finance companies investment finance companies and leasing companies shall remain out of ambit of such exercise
- presentation by omar mustafa ansari a partner a ford rhodes sidat hyder co
- independent shariah compliance assurance by professionals i this approach is now being applied by a few islamic banks
- presentation by omar mustafa ansari a partner a ford rhodes sidat hyder co
- shariah compliance rating of islamic financial institutions and products i R anyone having basic understanding of islamic finance would easily understand that generally all the products being launched by islamic financial institutions cannot be termed equivalent for shariah compliance purpose
- i R there might be certain provisions in an ijara contract that may render it less desirable as compared to a similar ijara contract
- shariah compliance rating of islamic financial institutions and products i R in addition to the products being launched by the islamic financial institutions that are subject to the approval of their respective shariah advisors and shariah supervisory boards there are certain islamic financial products that are launched by the conventional financial institutions or by various companies and even by the government
- i R these products for example include the housing finance option offered by the house building finance corporation sukuks being issued by the government of pakistan and various government owned entities musharaka tfcs issued by the sitara energy and operating lease options offered by various leasing companies
- shariah compliance rating of islamic financial institutions and products i R in view of the same it is imperative that a shariah compliance rating mechanism be introduced so that the general public may be able to differentiate between various products being launched
- i R in addition this will encourage the financial institutions to continuously improve the purity factor in their financial products
- i appointment composition and report i it is appointed by shareholders in agm upon recommendation of board of directors bod they may authorize bod to fix the remuneration of ssb

- audit and governance committee agc i the importance of the agc for an ifi emanates from its role in i R achieving the fundamental objectives of an ifi by enhancing greater transparency and disclosure in financial reporting and i R enhancing the public s confidence of the ifi as genuine in its application of shari a rules and principles
