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.

- 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
