Shariah Risk Profiling for Islamic Finance Products
Tools and Methodologies
A Two-Part, Online Course

Date:  22nd & 23rd November 2021

WHY THIS COURSE?

Shariah non-compliance (SNC) risk is a vital component of operational risk for Islamic financial institutions. In addition, central banks are increasing the requirement for Islamic financial institutions to evaluate and analyze SNC risk systematically. For example, in its Stress Testing Policy Document, Bank Negara Malaysia requires that Islamic financial institutions ensure their stress testing programs appropriately consider key scenarios and assumptions that are unique to Shariah contracts and Shariah non-compliance. 

Shariah risk profiling is an important tool, helping financial institutions identify Shariah non-compliance risks which will then be used for scenario analysis and stress testing within the institution. Although Shariah risk profiling has its origin in risk management, the exercise provides multiple functions across the financial institution with an understanding of sources of Shariah risks and, more importantly, their impact on the institution’s operations.

  • Key Takeaways and Learning Objectives
    • To provide a clear understanding of the objectives and mechanisms of Shariah risk profiling for Islamic finance contracts and products
    • To establish comprehensive tools and methodologies for Shariah risk profiling: the Shariah matrix, the template, validity of the assessment, process of validation and more
    • To provide a robust, hands-on guide and end-to-end profiling mechanism for specific Islamic products and business activities
