SHARIAH GOVERNANCE & SHARIAH COMPLIANCE CULTURE FOR ISLAMIC FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
SIDC CPE - accredited: 10 CPE Points

About The Seminar

Shariah governance has much wider scope than corporate governance. Non-compliance to Shariah governance is not restricted to reputational and financial loss alone. Hence, regulators in Malaysia have always taken the lead role and made landmark changes in the legislation of Shariah governance and ensured Islamic financial services to become the world’s best. To that end, revisions have made as recent as November 2017 by Bank Negara Malaysia and the industry should be updated to meet regulators’ expectations.

This seminar is designed to achieve the above objective alongside to solve some of the day to day operational challenges encountered by compliance, Shariah audit, Shariah review, risk management, product development and Shariah advisory committee and research officers.
