Abstract In the implementation of Islamic Financial Institutions such as the Baitul Maal wa Tamwil (BMT) there are various ways of collecting funds and channeling funds. Funds are collected through wadi'ah deposits and deposits. While the distribution of funds is done by murabahah, mudharabah, musyarakah, rahn (pawn), ijarah, ijarah multijasa and qardhul hasan financing. Qardhul Hasan's financing is the orientation of the function of the Islamic Financial Institution (Baitul Maal Wa Tamwil) as a social institution. Qardhul hasan is a soft loan given on the basis of mere social obligations. In this case the borrower is not required to return anything except the amount borrowed. In Qardhul Hasan financing there are pillars and conditions, namely the perpetrator of the contract consisting of muqtaridh (borrower), muqridh (lender), qardh (fund), shighat ijab and qabul willingness for both parties and funds used for something useful and lawful. Qardhul Hasan is an activity to achieve a predetermined goal or target by the relevant Islamic financial institutions. The mechanism for implementing Qardhul Hasan is solely aimed at providing assistance to meet the needs of small communities. Thus it can be seen that the form of borrowing through Qardhul Hasan is in accordance with the principles of sharia economic law, the potential source of Qardhul Hasan's funding is quite large if it is utilized and managed optimally and its implementation is very useful for the community.

Shariah Governance

Since its inception a few decades ago, the industry of Islamic banking and finance has been regulating itself in terms of Sharia governance. Although some regulatory authorities from within the industry, such as Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) and Islamic Financial Services Board (IFSB), the Islamic banking and finance industry remains to a great extent self-regulated. This is because none of the resolutions or the regulatory authorities' standards are binding on the Islamic financial institution except when the institution itself willingly chooses to bind itself by them. Few countries have enforced some Sharia-governance-related regulations on their Islamic banks. However, in most cases, these regulations do not go beyond the requirement to formulate some Sharia controlling bodies, which are practically left to the same operating banks. Furthermore, some of the few existing regulatory authorities' standards and resolutions are conflicted with other resolutions issued by Fiqh academies. The paper addresses those issues by highlighting the shortcomings and then proposing the necessary reforms to help reach effective Shariah governance that would protect the industry from within and help it achieve its goals. The paper concludes by proposing a Shariah governance model that should overcome the challenges addressed in the study.Pada awal berdiri, Lembaga Keuangan Syariah merupakan lembaga keuangan yang menerapkan Hukum Syariah secara mandiri dalam sistem operasionalnya. Ia tidak tunduk pada peraturan lembaga keuangan konvensional, sehingga dapat terus berkomiten dalam menerapkan Hukum Syariah secara benar. Selanjutnya, muncullah beberapa otoritas peraturan yang berasal dari pengembangan Lembaga Keuangan Syariah. Diantaranya adalah Islamic Financial Services Board (IFSB) dan Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI). Hal ini tidak menyimpang dari kerangka peraturan Hukum Syariah, sebab standar peraturan dan keputusan yang dikeluarkan ditujukan khusus untuk Lembaga Keuangan Syariah saja. Beberapa Negara telah menerapkan peraturan tata kelola Hukum Syariah pada Bank Syariah mereka. Namun dalam banyak kasus, peraturan yang diterapkan tidak mampu mengontrol Lembaga Keuangan Syariah tersebut secara penuh. Sehingga, secara praktis proses pengawasan diserahkan kepada lembaga keuangan yang beroperasi. Akan tetapi, beberapa standar dan keputusan yang dikeluarkan oleh sebagian pemangku kebijakan bertentangan dengan keputusan yang dikeluarkan oleh beberapa akademi Fiqh. Artikel ini ditulis untuk menyoroti permasalahan yang timbul pada tata kelola Lembaga Keuangan Syariah, khususnya kekurangan yang tampak pada sistem tata kelola. Kemudian, penulis akan mengajukan usulan tentang efektifitas tata kelola Lembaga Keuangan Syariah yang bebas dari permasalahan.

Sharia financial Institution is one of the economic supporters of Indonesia. It is evidenced by the number of Islamic financial institutions that have sprung up this year, both sharia bank and non-bank sharia financial institution. It accommodates the aspiration and need of the society. The public is given the widest opportunity to establish a bank based on sharia principles, including convert from commercial banks whose business activities are based on conventional patterns into sharia patterns. The more sharia financial institutions that emerge, the more products offered by Islamic financial institutions to customers with the level of risk that can be overcome. The writing aims to answer the formulation of problem of settlement of import debts, contract of ju’a>lah and Sharia Certificate of Bank Indonesia (SBIS) in perspective of DSN-MUI fatwa. The result of research shows that in the DSN-MUI fatwa, it is explained that the settlement of imported debt or we know as letter of credit (L/C) may use the kafa>lah contract by taking a fee. It is also explained that one of the forms of kafa>lah contract is kafa>lah bi al-ma>l which is the application of kafa>lah contract which guarantees the payment of goods or debt repayment. This guarantee may be provided by the sharia bank to its customers in return for a fee. For the settlement of import debt there are several contracts that can be used, namely the contract of h}iwa>lah bi al-ujrah, waka>lah bi al-ujrah, and kafa>lah bi al-ujrah The Sharia Certificate of Bank Indonesia which used to be wadi>’ah with Wadi>’ah Certificate of Bank Indonesia which is now changed with Sharia Certificate of Bank Indonesia uses ju’a>lah contract. In this contract, Bank Indonesia pays the repayment upon maturity of SBIS with the relevant sharia banking record having performed and achieving the objectives expected by Bank Indonesia. If the sharia banking concerned is not able to achieve the desired objectives or stipulated by Bank Indonesia in terms of monetary control based on sharia principles, the relevant sharia banking will not receive any compensation from Bank Indonesia.

This paper addresses the concept of financial literacy in Islamic finance and suggests a methodology to elaborate an effective Islamic financial literacy policy (IFLP). Based on a literature review, the paper summarizes the conclusions of studies and surveys conducted in the field of conventional financial literacy while identifying the specificities of the Islamic finance industry. Indeed, the paper would help financial authorities and Islamic financial institutions in elaborating Islamic financial literacy policies (IFLPs) in order to contribute to the sustainable growth of the industry. It promotes the idea that qualitative aspects are worth studying when elaborating an Islamic financial literacy policy that has to take into account many factors such as the maturity of the industry, the objectives of the policy (inclusion or migration), the degree of Shari’ah awareness, the understanding of Arabic terminologies, etc. Finally, the IFLP measurement should include quantitative (Total reach and number of people reached) as well as qualitative aspects (level of financial literacy, impact on financial behaviour).

The study examines the perspective of practitioners who are involved directly and/or indirectly with the process of shariah compliance/auditing from Islamic financial institutions (IFIs) on the issues of standards for shariah auditing, auditors qualifications, and independence. Auditing Islamic financial institutions (IFIs) covers a wider scope than legal financial statement auditing. External auditors of IFIs not only conduct financial audits but also conduct tests on the shariah compliance of IFIs, according to fatawa (religious opinions) and guidelines set by the Shariah Supervisory Board (SSB). Shariah review is unique to IFIs, due to the requirement to ensure that all business activities and operations of IFIs adhere to shariah precepts. The scarce resourceful auditors with both shariah and accounting/auditing qualifications and the issue of self-review threat to independence may affect the reputable image of Islamic financial institutions. This article is literature method. The findings reinforce the importance of auditors' qualification and independence as currently there is no mandatory regulated professional shariah auditor code to be in tandem with the drastic growth of the IFIs. The paper offers practical implication to regulators in providing a direction to revise the existing standards for shariah auditing practices and to formulate a mandatory professional governance structure for shariah auditors.

Conceptually, the key approaches to the formation of financial reporting for an Islamic financial institution (IFI) have much in common with approaches developed for economic entities in the traditional economy. At the same time, the AAOIFI Concept and the Financial Accounting Standard No. (1) provide for Islamic financial institution-specific provisions and reporting forms that reflect the requirements of the Sharia. Disclosure of methods in published accounts is intended to help its users distinguish between changes in the financial position of an Islamic financial institution, the results of its operations, cash flow, limited investment managed by it, the sources and use of Zakat (poor-due) and Kard funds and charitable foundations. Further development of the regulation of the issues on the formation of financial statements seems to us in the making common approaches to its formation closer for companies operating in the traditional economy and Islamic financial institutions.
