Common questions about our training courses
The key responsibilities of Sharia auditors are addressed as part of the foundational content, covering what Sharia auditors are required to assess, how their role differs from conventional internal audit, and what knowledge and judgement the role demands within an IFB operational context. This gives delegates a clear understanding of the scope and accountability of the Sharia audit function before the methodology content begins.
The full audit cycle is covered as a structured methodology, addressing planning, execution, and follow-up as distinct and connected phases of a Sharia audit engagement. Tools and techniques for evaluating compliance at each stage are covered alongside practical examples of how the process is applied within IFB operations. This gives delegates a replicable framework they can adapt to their own institutional audit context.
The course addresses the most common non-compliance issues encountered in IFB operations, covering how they arise, what their consequences are, and what strategies are effective in resolving and preventing them. Building robust risk management frameworks for ongoing compliance is also covered, giving delegates the tools to move beyond reactive non-compliance management toward a structured preventive approach within their institutions.
AAOIFI and IFSB standards are covered within the governance framework content, addressing what each body requires, how their standards translate into audit procedures, and how they interact with national regulatory frameworks across different jurisdictions. Delegates gain a working understanding of how to apply these standards within a Sharia audit engagement rather than simply being aware of their existence.
Identifying and addressing Riba, Gharar, and Maysir is covered as a core audit competency within the methodologies content, examining how these prohibited elements manifest in operational contexts and what audit procedures are appropriate for detecting them. Delegates learn how to move from the identification of a potential violation to the application of a structured resolution approach, rather than treating prohibition identification as the end point of the audit process
Preparing comprehensive Sharia audit reports and communicating findings to stakeholders are addressed as applied skills within the reporting content. Delegates learn how to structure audit findings clearly, frame recommendations in terms of compliance impact, and present conclusions in a format suited to Sharia board and senior management audiences. This is taught as a practical communication discipline rather than a documentation exercise.
