The integrity and sustainability of Islamic financial institutions hinge on a robust corporate governance framework grounded in Shariah principles. With the increasing global demand for ethical and value-based finance, corporate governance in Islamic banking and finance is no longer an optional pursuit—it is a critical strategic function. At Pideya Learning Academy, the Corporate Governance in Islamic Banking and Finance course is carefully designed to empower professionals with the governance insights, ethical leadership tools, and Shariah-aligned strategies required to build trust, ensure transparency, and drive institutional performance.
Islamic financial services are undergoing transformative growth, with total global Islamic finance assets reaching $4.5 trillion in 2024, as reported by the Islamic Financial Services Board (IFSB). This expansion is propelled by a surge in consumer demand for ethical investment, government support in OIC countries, and increased participation from non-Muslim jurisdictions. However, such growth has brought greater scrutiny and heightened regulatory expectations, placing corporate governance at the heart of sustainability in Islamic banking and finance.
Participants of this course will gain a deep understanding of the philosophical and legal underpinnings of Shariah-based governance while exploring how to apply these principles in real-world institutional settings. The training focuses on building governance structures that align financial practices with Islamic jurisprudence, enhance risk resilience, and satisfy both regulatory and stakeholder expectations.
The course is structured to deliver a strategic learning experience, enriched with the following key highlights:
In-depth exploration of Shariah governance models and how they are implemented across various Islamic financial institutions
Frameworks for structuring Shariah-compliant investment vehicles and understanding the capital structure decisions in Islamic banking
Comprehensive risk management strategies specific to the operational models of Islamic finance
Analytical tools to assess financial performance, organizational value creation, and long-term strategic planning
Critical insight into Islamic financial regulations, stakeholder roles, and internal compliance systems
Understanding the responsibilities of Shariah supervisory boards, governance committees, and ethical oversight mechanisms
Strategies to foster institutional trust, transparency, and stakeholder confidence within the Islamic finance ecosystem
Throughout the course, participants will explore the interplay between governance principles and institutional performance, including the role of board structures, Shariah audits, and ethical leadership in driving sustainable outcomes. Real-world examples from Islamic banks, Takaful providers, and investment firms are used to contextualize learning and support a deeper understanding of best practices in Islamic corporate governance.
Whether you are a finance executive, risk manager, compliance officer, or strategic decision-maker, this course provides a unique opportunity to elevate your expertise in Shariah-compliant governance. By the end of the training, participants will be equipped to strengthen governance capabilities within their organizations, ensure adherence to Islamic values, and contribute to the long-term stability and ethical resilience of the global Islamic finance sector.
At Pideya Learning Academy, we are committed to fostering the next generation of ethical finance leaders. This course reflects our mission to deliver strategic, relevant, and impactful training experiences that bridge global best practices with Islamic financial principles.
