Abstract

SHARI‘AH governance is a key corporate governance mechanism specific to Islamic financial institutions (IFIs) – often referred to as ‘participatory banks’ in Morocco – as compared to their conventional counterparts. Morocco has chosen a centralised shari‘ah governance regime for its Islamic finance industry with differences compared to other countries who adopted centralised shari‘ah committees linked to historical, political and religious background.¹ Centralised shari‘ah boards present the advantages of reducing conflicts of interest and increasing standardisation and harmonisation.
