Shariah Compliance and Shariah Stress Testing for Islamic Financial Institutions
Employing the Latest Tools to Enhance the Resilience of Islamic Financial Institutions

SIDC CPE-approved: 10 CPE Points

Date: 26th & 27th July 2023
Venue: Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur

Classroom Training

COURSE BACKGROUND

Shariah risk and in particular, Shariah non-compliance risk, is a vital component of operational risk for Islamic financial institutions. In recent years, central banks have tightened the requirements for Islamic financial institutions to evaluate, analyse and manage Shariah compliance risk systematically. In its Stress Testing Policy Document, Bank Negara Malaysia stipulates that Islamic financial institutions must now ensure stress testing programs appropriately consider the key scenarios and assumptions that are often unique to Islamic financial institutions. Shariah stress testing is an important tool, helping financial institutions identify risks which can be used for scenario analysis and planning across an institution. Stress testing also has the important role of identifying potential vulnerabilities and assessing the possible impact of adverse events on a financial institution’s performance. Although Shariah stress testing has its origin in risk management, the exercise provides multiple functions across a financial institution with an understanding of key risks and potentially adverse events, and how these could impact the institution’s operations, financial standing and ability to meet its obligations.

  • Key Takeaways and Learning Objectives
    • To provide a clear definition of the various forms of Shariah non-compliance risk within an Islamic financial institution, and how these can be managed and mitigated
    • To understand the regulatory environment and the role of the financial regulator in relation to Shariah non-compliance risk and Shariah stress testing
    • To understand the role of Shariah stress testing in helping identify potential vulnerabilities and the impact of adverse events on a financial institution’s performance, financial position and ability to meet its obligations
    • To provide a clear understanding of the objectives and mechanisms of Shariah stress testing for Islamic financial institutions
    • To establish comprehensive tools and methodologies for Shariah stress testing: 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 stress testing mechanism for specific Islamic products and business activities
    • To emphasise the importance of effective reporting: tools, techniques and processes
