About The Seminar

Omani regulators have guided Islamic finance to growth and sustainability through effective legislation such as the Islamic Finance Regulatory Framework, published in 2015 by the Central Bank of Oman, which covers all aspects of Islamic banking. The framework has been well received internationally and is considered among the most stringent to govern Shariah compliant financing. However, Islamic banks need to be more innovative in the products they offer, and provide solutions that are not available in the conventional banking arena. To that end, this one day seminar will help industry professionals to take Islamic banking, finance & investments to the next level by examining different products to cater the diverse needs of customers and also to look at key legal, documentation and Shariah non-compliance issues faced by Oman.

KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES

  • Recognize Islamic financing products
  • Recognize the Islamic deposit products and its functions
  • Examine the financial statements of an Islamic bank
  • Assess a financial product’s impact on a bank’s financial statements
  • Evaluate Islamic investment products
  • Explore key legal, documentation & Shariah non-compliance issues for Islamic banking in Oman

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.

KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES

  • Explore the key considerations of the recent regulatory requirements published by BNM on November 2017
  • Overcome behavioural bias to build an effective Shariah compliance culture
  • Integrate Shariah governance across all functions of your organization
  • Identify and manage invalid contracts
  • Understand the information requirements on material Shariah non-compliance risks to meet regulator’s expectations
  • Recognize key success factors in managing Shariah non-compliance risks

Central bank proposes lighter Sukuk rules, temporary incentives to build Philippine market

Read our full daily cover story here: https://www.islamicfinancenews.com/central-bank-proposes-lighter-sukuk-rules-temporary-incentives-to-build-philippine-market.html

LATEST POSTS

September has got off to a strong start for dollar September has got off to a strong start for dollar-denominated Sukuk, with issuance in the first week already matching the combined total raised in July and August.

Four benchmark Sukuk have been printed so far this month: the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB)’s US$1.5 billion offering, its second in 2026; Arab National Bank’s US$750 million Additional Tier 1 Sukuk; Kuwait International Bank’s (KIB) unsecured US$500 million paper; and the Saudi government’s US$3.25 billion Sukuk. The dollar pipeline is looking promising with alrajhi bank preparing to tap the market with a Tier 2 social Sukuk.

The Saudi government issuance is notable given that Fitch Ratings had said in July that it was not anticipating any new public external US dollar sovereign Sukuk in the second half of 2026, after Saudi Arabia concluded its funding plan. Malaysia’s US$1.5 billion return to the dollar Sukuk market in July was similarly notable, coming after a five-year hiatus.
