SHARIA GOVERNANCE

At our organization, we strive to adhere to good Shariah Governance practices from the establishment of a Sharia Committee to the independence of pronouncement and administration of Sharia reporting.

To achieve this, we have appointed Shariyah Review Bureau (“SRB”) who helps facilitate Sharia related discussions, product research, and Sharia reporting while working with the head of functions to augment Sharia principles and rulings at different levels of the organization. SRB will also help ensure that the members of the Sharia Committee operate with independence and autonomy and warrants effective decision-making and Sharia assurance practices.

Some of the specific requirements that SRB will manage are:

  • Help establish a robust Sharia governance mechanism including the formulation and management of the Shariah Committee and liaising with them to ensure that all products and services are duly accredited and in line with the rulings of the Sharia Committee.
  • Assist in establishing a qualified and independent Sharia Committee and a competent Sharia audit resource.
  • Coordinate with various departments, head of functions and taskforces on Shariah issues, and provide support during Shariah audits.
  • Contribute to the development and enhancement of products and new offerings, coordinating with relevant stakeholders for feedback.
  • Ensure that all products and services offered by us are approved and certified by the Sharia Committee.
  • Supervise the internal Sharia audit to verify compliance with Sharia principles and standards.
  • Disclose relevant information to management regarding the Sharia governance framework, Sharia Committee rulings, product (non-compliance) risks, Zakah verification and purification of non-permissible income.
