Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study whether the characteristics of the Shariah Supervisory Board (SSB) can influence the risk-taking behaviors of Islamic banks. Design/methodology/approach The data on governance were collected from 70 Islamic banks’ annual reports across 18 countries for the period from 2000 to 2011 to investigate the relationship between SSB’s characteristics including size, busyness and foreign board and the Islamic banks’ risk activities. Findings The size of SSB and the proportion of busy board in SSB positively and significantly influence Islamic banks’ asset return and insolvency risks. Foreign members are more effective in monitoring banks’ Shariah compliance. Further analysis provides some evidence that most of the findings on the associations between the SSB structure and bank risk are derived from countries in the Gulf Cooperation Council where Shariah governance is ruled internally at the bank level. Practical implications There is a need for better Shariah board characteristics in place that complement with other governance mechanisms to well comprehend the main purpose of Islamic banks. Originality/value SSB board busyness and foreign characteristics appear to influence the risk-taking behaviors of Islamic banks.

This paper empirically evidences the role played by board characteristics (skills, diversity, structure, independence) in supporting risk management disclosure and shaping the financial performance of European companies operating in the financial services sector. We exploit data selected from Thomson Reuters Eikon database in 2020 for the last fiscal year 2019 (FY0) on a longitudinal sample of 144 companies with the head offices in Europe (25 countries). Following an original empirical approach based on two modern financial econometric techniques, namely structural equation modelling (SEM) and network analysis through Gaussian graphical models (GGMs), the research endeavor outlines the decisive importance of an optimal board size, enhanced management skills, upward gender diversity (encompassed by women participation on board management), and structure (mainly a two-tier type, one management board, and a distinctive supervisory board) as fundamentals of risk management strategies, leading to improved financial achievements and a higher profitability for the analyzed companies.

The development of Islamic banking in Indonesia with the complexity of the problem in its journey has shown good results and as a reference for the pattern and strategy for developing financial institutions. Islamic banking with its (the) sharia principles of avoiding usury practices and prioritizing mutual benefits have proven to be a complete banking system. But besides that, additional supervision is needed to ensure the implementation of sharia principles, namely by the existence of a sharia supervisory board (DPS) to implement fatwas as guidelines for the operation of Islamic banks issued by the National Sharia Council (DSN).

The Impact

The uniqueness of Islamic banks (IBs) is shown through compliance with Islamic law (Sharia) which is approved through Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB) and presented for stakeholders by Sharia Supervisory Board Report (SSBR). This study seeks to achieve three main objectives as follows: (1) it identifies the degree of IBs’ transparency in compliance with Sharia and their commitment with the governance standards that issued by Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI); (2) it aims to measure the impact of adoption AAOIFI on the degree of Sharia disclosure; and (3) it seeks to test the economic consequences of Sharia disclosure based on its impact on financial performance. We analyse content of annual reports and websites of 120 IBs across 20 different countries for year 2016. Regression analysis shows compliance level for Sharia disclosure based on our index for SSBR is 53% with higher level compliance for IBs that apply AAOIFI standards comparing with banks that adopting International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Therefore, adopting AAOIFI has a positive effect on enhancing the degree of Sharia disclosure. Moreover, Sharia compliance has a positive influence on financial performance based on both Returns on Assets (ROA) and Tobin’s Q as a robustness test. This study adds value to Islamic accounting literature by being a primary study. There is a lack of research on the topic and this paper measures the consequences of Sharia disclosure over the financial performance of IBs as well as the role of Islamic standards (AAOIFI) in enhancing the image of Islamic banks through supporting their compliance with Sharia.

Purpose -This study empirically investigates the function of Shariah Supervisory Board (SSB) in legitimizing the social and ethical existence of Sudanese banks through the dissemination of data onIslamic social in annual reports. Design/methodology/approach -The paper examines a panel dataset covering the period 2006 – 2015 through the use of disclosure index and content analysis from 150annual reports of Sudanese banks. The role of SSB is expressed from the aspects of Corporate Governance mechanisms (i.e. board size, independency, doctoral qualification, cross- directorship, and the overall effect of SSB mechanisms).The current study employs the multiple regression models by using STATA-13 statistical toolin answering the research questions. Findings -The empirical results indicate that the board size, doctoral qualification, and cross-directorship of the members were positively correlatedwith the disclosure degree of Islamic Corporate Social Responsibility (ICSR) in the annual reports of Sudanese Islamic banks, which is in favour of legitimacy theory. Meanwhile, results indicate that, in contrary to legitimacytheory’s assumptions,the independence of SSB members is found to negatively correlate with the ICSR level of disclosure of the sampled Sudanese banks’ annual reports. Furthermore, the overall effects of SSB mechanisms are found to positivelyimpact the ICSR disclosure level. The study’sfindings add new empirical evidence to support the view that social information disclosure by companies is influenced by country- cultural context within which the company operates. Theoretical implication - In theory, this paper offers an analysis on CSR in Sudan from Islamic point of view. This paper is vital in view that social responsibility is highly regarded by Islam. Therefore, social responsibility must be adopted by all Islamic organizations, particularly the Islamic banks. Originality/value – From the researchers’ perspective, this study is the pioneer thatinvestigates the role of SSB on Sudanese Islamic banks through social responsibility reporting using legitimacy theory.
