The Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) market share is expected to increase with the halal certification of their products and services. However, MSEs have limited resources. In response, the Government introduced a self-declare halal certification program in 2022. From the total number of MSEs, which reached 8.7 million units as of March 2023, only about 79 thousand have self-declare halal certificates. Therefore, this study aims to analyze internal and external factors that influence the interest of  MSEs towards halal certification through a self-declare scheme. The study involves 86 MSEs respondents from Bogor, West Java. Using Partially Least Square (PLS) with a second-order approach. The findings reveal that internal factors marginally affect MSE's interest to pursue self-declare halal certification. The three strongest indicators of internal factors are: (1) improving human resource performance, (2) increasing efficiency and financial returns, and (3) awareness of religiosity. Interestingly, external factors do not influence the interest of MSEs to obtain self-declare halal certification, except for government policy, which significantly impact the intention in the first-order test. The main implication of this research is the importance of more substantial government support to help MSEs obtaining halal certification such as socialization, training as well as mentoring Halal Self Declare Certification at an affordable cost.

The aim of this research is to test and analyze the effect of applying the Expected Loss Method on earnings quality in the context of the pandemic surrounding.  The research sample consisted of 16 Islamic commercial banks registered with the Financial Services Authority for the 2019-2022. Using panel regression analysis techniques processed through STATA 18, this research measures earnings quality with discretionary loan loss provisions (DLLP). Control variables include liquidity, which is proxied by the financing-to ratio (FDR), efficiency by BOPO, and bank size by Ln Total Financing. The results show that the impact of EFL on earnings quality is positively significant. This means that the higher the implementation of EFL, the greater the increase in DLLP, which indicates a further decline in earnings quality. During the pandemic, DLLP 27.98 demonstrated a higher value compared to non-pandemic periods, indicating a decline in earning quality during that period. This research provides input for regulators in drafting regulations related to CKPN, which is prone to being used as an earnings management tool. For investors, these findings can help in evaluating bank performance to make better investment decisions.

The company relies on control that is more personal and cultural by strengthening education on Sharia values. Other components of internal control continue to be improved as the company realizes the business is growing.

All variables were measured using a questionnaire instrument which was distributed to 53 undergraduate students majoring in Islamic accounting located in Java. The hypotheses were tested using multiple regression analysis. The results show that Islamic accounting education has a positive impact on ethical behavior represented in their daily life.

Fenomena kurangnya kompetensi auditor syariah internal menjadi dasar untuk pengembangan penelitian ini dengan tujuan untuk menguji pengaruh kompetensi terhadap efektivitas audit syariah internal dengan mempertimbangkan peran dukungan manajemen senior. Data penelitian dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner dan diperoleh 34 responden yang merupakan auditor internal di empat bank umum syariah di Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dan pengujian statistik dilakukan dengan menggunakan smart.pls. Hasil penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa kompetensi tidak berpengaruh pada efektivitas audit syariah internal dan dukungan manajemen senior tidak memoderasi hubungan antara kompetensi dan efektivitas audit syariah internal. Dukungan manajemen senior diidentifikasi sebagai moderasi homologizer. Penelitian ini memberikan insight bahwa efektivitas audit syariah internal tidak akan terwujud jika kompetensi auditor internal tidak ditingkatkan, terutama kompetensi terkait pengetahuan auditor tentang muamalah syariah/fiqih atau audit syariah yang dapat dibuktikan dengan kepemilikan sertifikasi terkait syariah. Jika ingin efektivitas audit syariah internal meningkat maka manajemen senior dapat merancang pendidikan berkelanjutan bagi karyawannya untuk meningkatkan kompetensi di bidang syariah/fiqih muamalah/audit syariah

This study aims to investigate the influence of internal auditors’ competence on the effectiveness of an internal audit, with Islamic spiritual quotient as a moderating variable. The Islamic Spiritual Quotient (ISQ) instrument is derived from the four prophetic pillars, namely siddiq (truthfulness & integrity ), amanah (trustworthiness), fathanah (competent & skillfull) and tabligh (advocacy & communication). Using questionnaires distributed to 38 internal auditors of Islamic financial institutions (IFIs) in Indonesia, the data were analysed using the structural equation model (SEM) based on partial least squares (PLS). As hypothesised, the findings show that the personal competence of internal auditors improves the effectiveness of an internal audit. Interestingly, ISQ clearly strengthens the positive influence of personal competence on internal audit effectiveness. The stronger the ISQ of internal auditors, the stronger the influence of individual competence on internal audit performance.

This study aimed to map out previous studies on sharia auditing and its role in improving sharia compliance in Islamic financial institutions (IFIs). It also outlined the challenges faced by IFIs and solutions in implementing shariah audit. A total of 308 publications were obtained from the Google scholar database, Emerald Insight, Research Gate, Crossref, Microsoft Academic and Pubmed which were accessed using the Publish or Perish (PoP) software in the 2008-2021 period.

Sharia audit is identified as a mechanism to assure shariah compliance. The main challenges in implementing sharia audit include: a lack of framework and standard of shariah audit that led to dispute among IFIs practitioners, a lack of qualified shariah auditors who have an adequate shariah knowledge and well trained, shariah audit identifed creating an efficiency issue. The role of the shariah governance committee and the shariah supervisory board may be optimized to ensure the effectiveness of shariah audit.
