Objective Methodology

The reputation of an institution refers to its public image in terms of competence, integrity and trustworthiness, which results from the awareness of its stakeholders. The related risk, i.e. “Reputational Risk”, is defined as the current or prospective risk of a decline in profits or capital resulting from a negative perception of the financial institution image by clients, counterparties, shareholders, investors or supervisory authorities. In this scenario, the reputation and the assessment of the associated risk component represent a decisive factor for ensuring long-lasting profitability. In recent years, the importance of managing and monitoring Reputational Risk is growing in importance with supervisory authorities, but nevertheless, there are no specific guidelines yet that the institutions can follow. The lack of a precise orientation means that the risk component is still considered discretionary, subjective and highly prone to interpretation. Considering that in the economic literature there is not a universally accepted approach, the aim of the paper is to provide a quantitative and objective methodology, a Quantitative Model, to assess the Reputational Risk in order to overcome the limits of a qualitative approach, by using exclusively numerical and objective analysis drivers, and to meet the increasing attention of the supervisory authorities on the issue. The Quantitative Model structure allows firms to study and to monitor the phenomenon from a managerial point of view. This approach provides financial institutions, in particular the Risk Management Department, a model to evaluate the reputational risk arising from economic magnitudes that characterise the business model of the financial institution. This means that the quantitative Model enables financial institutions to steering possible negative situations and promptly intervening with any corrective measures or actions deemed appropriate.

The Third Party

AI-Ijarah al-Muntahiyyah bi al-Tamlik (IMBT) is conceptually almost the same as leasing which is conducted by world financial institutions, including those of in Indonesia. IMBT is a service product of syari'a financial institution which is transparant and is able to involve the third party whenever it is necessary. In the context of Indonesia, economic syari'a is culturally designed and run by the Coumil of Indonesian Ulama (MUI). In order to regulate the bussiness in the syari'a system, MUI forms the Council of National Syari'a (DSN) issuing the fatwas; in order to give monitoring, DSN places The Board ef Syari'a Controller (DPS) in every business unit which uses syari'a system; in order to solve the syari'a business disputation, MUI forms the Arbitration Board of National Syari'a (Basyarnas). Moreover, The State has structurally accomodated the system of syari'a business in law and regulation. Therefore, The openess characteristics (the principle of free based contract) which is also practiced in the contract of IMBT is restricted by the law and regulation and considered appropriate in syari'a point of view based on DSN-MUI fatwas.

Modern Application

In Islamic law of Business rules, there is a terminology of “Muqassah”, which in Arabic etymology means, Debt settlement by a contra transaction when someone is indebted to a person and this person in the same time is indebted to the first one of the similar amounts of money. In terminology point of view, Muqassah means the discharge of a debt receivable against a debt payable or. Thus, muqassah is one of the ways to pay someone’s debt. New forms of Muqassah have been introduced in the modern Islamic banking system. It has turned into a complexed system after the emergence of modern technology. Therefore, there is a great need to discuss the modern application of the rules of set-off already set forth by Shariah to modern financial transaction. These modern applications include set-off between customer and financial institution and also between tow financial institutions through cheque and sometimes through clearing house. This sett-off may take place through national and international networking system. This article proceeds with an introduction of the term “Muqassah” and other related terms. It further discusses the classification, conditions and shariah ruling of each type of “Muqassah” (Set off). The article ends with conclusion of this discussion about set-off.

Linking with the business case for diversity, this study examines whether the top management team (TMT) and the board of directors (BODs) diversity has a positive impact on financial institution (FI) performance in select countries of Asia least researched domain. We use data from 119 financial institutions across Asia for the year 2015, initially 1,447 institutions; however, incomplete data was excluded from final analysis. We use three proxies for diversity, that is, nationality diversity, gender diversity, and age diversity of TMT and BODs. To investigate the impact of TMT and BODs diversity, cross-sectional ordinary least-squares estimation is applied, using Return on Average Assets (ROAA%) as a measure of performance.  We find that nationality diversity and age diversity is positively and significantly related to FIs performance. Our evidence indicates that executives and board members with diverse exposure and younger age improve FIs profitability. However, there is no significant relationship between gender and FIs performance.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to show the specificities of the corporate governance of Tunisian financial institutions and the impact of the internal mechanisms of corporate governance of these institutions on their social performance. It is therefore interesting to establish the existing relationship between these mechanisms of corporate governance and the performance of a financial firm. Design/methodology/approach This study aims to study the financial sector, generally characterized by its opacity, its regulation, its evolution and its obscurity. Therefore, a study based on the questionnaire method was recommended. The questionnaire is intended for managers. Therefore, the authors interviewed 138 managers of Tunisian financial institutions dispersed between agencies and headquarters in different regions (Gabes, Tozeur, Gafsa, Sfax, Sousse and Tunisia). Findings As a result, an impact on performance was observed according to the empirical study. Therefore, the authors can conclude an essential role of internal mechanisms for improving the social performance of a financial institution. The empirical findings in this paper lead to important conclusions. Indeed, the variables measuring the governance mechanisms have divergent effects on the social performance of the financial institutions subject to the sample. For the variables board of directors, confidence, culture, auditing, they have a positive effect. While, the incentive remuneration effect negatively the social performance.

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.

The stress testing methodology should be implemented and applied to the entity's overall financial system at least annually, and if the organization operates in a volatile economy, it should be performed at least twice a year. Finally, managers should include regular training and development sessions for relevant employees of their organization to be fully informed and more informed and informed, considering the evolving science, theory and practicality of a discrete range of stress testing mechanisms that can be appropriately applied to overall financial framework and system of multiple financial institutions and banks. In addition, stress testing is essentially a methodology that collects and analyzes certain future macro-prudential and micro-prudential economic drivers and indicators, the primary purpose of which is to assess the future financial and economic well-being, level of growth and status quo of a financial institution, bank, organization, credit institution or economy or the nation as a whole.

The study aims to examine the Shari’ah legality of whether pledgor or pledgee should take care of collateral (marhun) during the period of the loan. Moreover, the study seeks to provide possible applications for the pledge (rahn) and clarify Shari’ah rules for each application. Malaysian Islamic banks apply pledge products by offering loans (qardh hasan) to the customers and requesting gold assets as collateral against a loan. The banks charge safekeeping fees to keep the gold until the maturity date of the loan. This practice combines loan and sale contracts in a single transaction. Accordingly, the study seeks to evaluate this practice from an Islamic point of view. Islamic law categorizes loans under charity contracts while the sale is categorized under contracts of exchange (mu’awadhat). The nature of the two contracts is different. Therefore, the study examines categories that combine loans and contracts of exchange in one transaction. The results reveal that it is not permissible for the pledgee to charge fees higher than market fees for the keeping of collateral. Charging fees that are higher than the market price is considered riba. According to Shari’ah rules, any kind of benefit derived from a loan is riba and thus it is prohibited. However, charging fees that are comparable to the market price and cover the actual cost for safekeeping of collateral is permissible. According to Islamic Fiqh Academy resolutions and AAOIFI standards, Islamic banks may charge fees for safekeeping of gold collateral considering that fees should be to the market fees and should only cover actual expenses.

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.
