Course Summary
Islamic finance requires financial professionals and accountants to raise capital and invest following 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 from acquiring finance or assets, meaning that Islamic businesses need to find innovative solutions to make investments while reducing financial risk and securing their future.
Conventional financing methods may not be feasible, and it’s important to look at the recent trends in accounting, treasury management and lending regarding Shari’a Law to ensure that all the correct procedures are followed.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the main aspects of Islamic financing.
- Develop a picture of the most effective forms of finance according to Shari’a law.
- Correctly identify the terminology involved in Islamic finance.
- Identify the most common products and tools associated with Islamic finance.
- Highlight key areas of concern or risks to your business when using unconventional laws.
- Differentiate between Shari’a financial practices and conventional practices.
- Understand the nuances of Takaful insurance.

This course uses various adult learning techniques to aid full understanding and comprehension.
