Abstract

The internal Shariah audit has emerged as an important means of ensuring that Islamic Financial Institutions (IFIs) act in accordance with the principles of Shariah. Thus, this paper explores the pivotal role of internal Shariah audits in identifying non-Shariah compliance within the IFIs. While the Islamic finance industry continues to expand and diversify, weaknesses in compliance with Shariah standards remain significant concerns as they may erode the confidence of stakeholders and challenge the legitimacy of the industry. This research is therefore informed by the need to improve the efficiency of internal Shariah audits in averting compliance related risks and encouraging sound governance within IFIs. Consequently, this paper focuses on the methodologies and practices of internal Shariah auditors to determine the existing flaws and develop recommendations for enhancing the current audit approaches. The analysis is based on the assessment of the current state of internal Shariah audit practices, key problems observed by the auditors, and suggestions for improving the compliance assurance level. These findings are expected to facilitate the improvement of internal Shariah audit in IFIs and thus help enhance the confidence in the Shariah compliance of these institutions.
