RECOVERY & DISPUTE RESOLUTION FOR ISLAMIC FINANCE FACILITIESSIDC CPE - accredited: 10 CPE Points
About The Seminar
The Islamic finance industry faces the same fundamental challenges and risks as that of conventional finance, including whether or not clients can fulfill their repayment obligations and when. However, recovery under Islamic finance principles is a significantly more sensitive undertaking and Islamic banks have to be very careful about how they approach the recovery process. Given the lack of precedent in such cases, effective documentation and a clear understanding of
Shariah principles and other regulations is essential.
This intensive two-day program will provide delegates with a clear understanding of the key regulatory and Shariah issues surrounding the recovery of Islamic facilities as well as crucial legal, procedural and documentation issues to consider when defaults or problems occur. Real-life case studies will be used to examine important precedents and to develop delegates’ understandings of the application of these principles.
KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES
- Understand Key Guidelines and Regulations Governing Recovery for Islamic Financing
- Gain Insight on Shariah perspectives and Issues Affecting the Recovery and Resolution Process
- Examine Legal Procedures and Issues in Default and Recovery – Where do Problems Happen?
