Summary
Islamic finance requires financial professionals and accountants to raise capital and make investments in accordance with Shari’a or Islamic Law. This requires businesses and individuals responsible for asset management and finances to assess potential possibilities for socially responsible funding.
Shari’a Law prevents certain forms of borrowing and lending in order to acquire finance or assets, meaning that Islamic businesses need to find innovative solutions to make investments while reducing financial risk and securing the future of the business.
Conventional methods of financing may not be feasible and it’s important to look at the recent trends in accounting, treasury management and lending in regard to Shari’a Law to ensure that all the correct procedures are being followed.
