Sustainable and responsible investment: the case study of sukuk ihsan issuance
No full textThis case study examines the issuance of sukuk ihsan, viewing it as the within the context of the first sustainable and responsible investment in Malaysia rather than simply a plain investment itself. Sustainable and responsible investment have focused primarily on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and in doing so, sukuk is blend with sustainable and responsible investment goals in making sukuk more relevant and competitive in capital market. I examine issuance of sukuk Ihsan with view of ensuring that sustainable and responsible investment sukuk characteristics is able to meet contemporary practice that will make it attractive for prospective buyers, thus improving the affordability of sustainable and responsible investment sukuk in the future. The purpose of this project paper is to study the relationship between sukuk ihsan issuance with the notion of sustainable and responsible investment sukuk. It is found that case study approach is suitable technique for this project paper. It is an appropriate methodology for Sukuk Ihsan because it is the first sustainable and responsible investment sukuk product that has been introduce in the Islamic financial markets
Case study of Koperasi Sahabat Amanah Ikhtiar Malaysia Berhad
No full textAmanah Ikhtiar Malaysia or history of AIM is closely linked to the establishment of Grameen Bank. It all began when Prof. Dr Muhammad Yunus, Economic lecturer at Chittagong University of Bangladesh conducted a study in 1976 with a sample of poor community that rarely engage in the banking world.

An exploratory study on SRI sukuk for the development of waqf properties/assets in Malaysia
No full textThere is an urgency to explore and structure innovative financial mechanisms like SRI sukuk to develop waqf properties and assets because if this is delayed, many opportunities in enhancing social welfare and economic development will be missed. SRI sukuk can be innovatively structured to support financing the development waqf assets into viable income-generating assets that can help with social programmes, and at the same time, maximise the potential of sukuk in achieving the objectives (maqasid) of Islamic finance. The study aims to explore SRI sukuk models that could be implemented to develop waqf properties and assets under the SRI sukuk framework in Malaysia ..
Applicability of COSO internal control framework on Islamic financial transactions: case study: murabaha transaction

COSO framework is a regular internal control designed for the financial organisations commonly to realise their objectives about the effectiveness and efficiency, reliable financial reporting and compliance with the laws and regulation ..
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Intellectual capital disclosure practices and governance mechanisms of Islamic banks: a comparative study between IFRS and AAOIFI financial reporting regimes
No full textThe Islamic banking industry has grown and gained a remarkable position in the global share of the financial sector. This growth requires a strong emphasis on intellectual capital (IC) that includes dedicated human capital, reliable structural capital, and a committed and long lasting relational capital among participants in the Islamic banking ecosystem. The study aims is to examine and compare the intellectual capital disclosure (ICD) practices of Islamic banks under different reporting regimes. The IFRS issued by IASB and FAS issued by AAOIFI are the two commonly used standards for financial repoting by Islamic banks. The findings indicate that, on average, there is not much difference between IFSB and AAOIFI scores (IASB:57.25% vs AAOIFI: 56.58%); in fact, most of IFSB-based banks performed better that AAOIFI-based banks throughout the period of study except in first year (i.e. 2012). The study also examined the relationship of corporate governance and the moderating role of Shariah committee with the extent of ICD practices among the Islamic banks. Several corporate governance mechanisms such as board size, number of board meetings, board gender, board independence, board expertise, audit committee size, number of audit committee meeting, audit committee gender, audit committee independence, and audit committee expertise were used as dependent variables. While, selected Shariah committee characteristics that, included Shariah committee size and Shariah committee gender were the moderating variables and firm characteristics were used as control variables to control for cross-sectional differences associated with ICD. The study applied the prominent resourced-based, agency and legitimacy theories and formulated twenty-three (23) hypotheses. Based on a total sample of 231 Islamic banks in four countries, namely Malaysia, Brunei, Bahrain and Jordan covering year 2012 to 2018, the findings revealed that having an effective governance structure is essential, as it is able to influence the ICD practices of Islamic banks. Specifically, the study found that ICD practices of Islamic banks is significantly and positively associated with board size, board independence, audit committee gender and audit committee independence. The results suggest that larger or reasonable board size tends to have varied skills and expertise among the board members, resulting in more information by allowing for greater diversity of backgrounds and viewpoints
