The overall compliance of Islamic banking and financial business is solely depending on the adequacy and efficiency of the Shariah governance.

The outcome of the research will contribute to the development of Islamic banking and financial institutions across the jurisdictions specifically in the regulatory framework governing practices on Shariah governance including the structures of Shariah Advisory Boards, their functions, rights and responsibilities. Apart from that, this research also aims to improve the current practices of Shariah governance in Islamic banking and finance industry.
