The purpose of this study is to test the support of top management that can enhance the quality of Accounting Information Systems (SIA) in Islamic insurance companies in Indonesia. This study uses qualitative methods with a positive paradigm. The data used are primary data with the help of questionnaires as research instruments. Data obtained from returning questionnaires filled out by respondents who are leaders, division heads, department heads or heads of accounting departments. The research population is a sharia insurance company consisting of 59 companies registered as members of the Indonesian Sharia Insurance Association (AASI) as of April 2019. From the population obtained 34 respondents who filled out the questionnaire. Data analysis was performed with descriptive static and PLS-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) using SmartPLS software. The results showed that top management's support had a significant effect on the quality of accounting information systems and support of top management has not been maximized.

Islamic financial institutions offer a different paradigm from conventional institutions. From corporate governance (CG) viewpoint, it embodies a number of interesting features since equity participation and profit-and-loss sharing arrangements form the basis of Islamic financing. These financial arrangements imply different stakeholder relationships and governance structures, and distinct from the conventional model since depositors have a direct financial stake in the bank's investment and equity participations. On top of that, the Islamic bank is subject to an additional layer of governance since the suitability of its investment and financing must be in strict conformity with Islamic law and the expectations of the Muslim community. Other form of governance such as accounting standards have also been an issue whether they have met the reporting requirement of Islamic financial institutions that carry title as “Islamic” as there is no uniformity. Therefore, there should be concerted efforts to revisit the existing good CG and accounting standards for Islamic financial institutions.

Waqf assets in Indonesia have not been managed optimally and productively. A survey states that 74% of waqf managers (nadzir) cannot maximize benefit from waqf. The reason is the limitation on innovation to develop and sustain waqf assets. On the other hand, Indonesian government has suffered from high foreign debt that seeks solution for alternative financing. Sukuk issuance could be a potential linkage between unmanaged waqf assets and government high debt demand. This study discusses the possibility of issuing sukuk based on waqf asset in Indonesia which drives several aspects. This paper adopts research method of benefit, opportunity, cost, and risk both for issuer and investor standpoint that refer to various sources of literature and interviews with respondents consisting of experts, regulators, and practitioners. The results using two-floor level Analytic Network Process show that the priority of benefit aspect is a financing alternative. While for the aspect of opportunity, the main priority is developing more innovative Islamic finance products. The priority of cost aspects is unprofessional asset management of waqf. The priority on aspects of risk is a dispute of endowment assets. For short-term and long-term strategy, the main priority is on creating partnership with other institutions. Contribution of this research is to inform the regulators on the setting of legal aspect when waqf assets used for sukuk financing in particular on the issue of foreign debt.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to eradicate extreme poverty by 2030 and reduce at least half the proportion of men, women and children of all ages living in poverty in all its dimensions according to national definitions. This chapter reviews extant empirical studies in the area of Islamic microfinance in orderto analyse the contribution of Islamic microfinance to SDGs by mapping research direction on the SDGs. The studies are categorized based on the discussion on research paradigm, countries being researched, methods employed and results that lead to action for achieving MDGs and SDGs. It finds that the studies under review mostly employ poststructuralism and interpretivism paradigm with countries being researched are mostly Bangladesh, Malaysia and Indonesia. Finally, the chapter offers insights on future research aiming to promote the achievements and issues faced in the implementation of SDGs.

This paper aims to examine the existence of multiple institutional logics among a number of organisations within the international Islamic financial architecture (IIFA) whose main purpose is to promote and support the development of Islamic financial institutions (IFIs) across the globe and how IIFA relates to the role of Islamic financial reporting standards.
The authors review websites of 11 IIFA’s constituent organisations and undertake 7 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with senior members of a selection of these organisations to identify the dominant logics by which their role and (inter)action within the IIFA are shaped.

The study findings reveal evidence of competing (and shifting) logics and political interests that seem to have led to contradictions and inconsistencies among the constituent organisations. The authors explain this by proposing a framework consisting of religion logic, market logic and corporate logic that intertwines with the underlying economic system and acts as sources of identity–legitimacy–authority for the respective organisations.

The authors bring to light some key issues that may pose a threat to the sustained existence of IFIs. The authors adapt the institutional logic framework and incorporate it into religion logic within the context of Islam (i.e. hifdzul-din as the first Maqasid ul-Shari’ah), resulting in some fresh theoretical perspective that may inform future research.

This research has objectives to investigate political, social, economic and cultural factors in accounting

development in Western, Asian and Islamic countries as well as to study the impact to Islamic financial

institutions. Using Interactiv

e Analysis as the research method, this paper focuses on Indonesia, Britain

and Saudi Arabia, as the countries of analysis due to their signifiant growth in Islamic finance. The analysis

shows that accounting development in all countries under study is inf

luenced by several factors such as

history, politics and culture. These factors also lead the countries’ policies how to develop shariah based

accounting

This study explores the best reporting form as a representation of waqf accountability through nazhir’s perspectives, i.e. waqf institutions in Indonesia. The method used in this study is the Analytic Network Process combined with Delphi. The results show that financial statements obtained from the first rank as the best reporting form. However, the waqf institutions could have difficulties in delivering a high-quality financial statement since there is a lack of understanding about the new waqf accounting standard that will be applied in 2021. The development of a comprehensive and down to earth guidance is crucial in helping the institutions apply the standard, with a help line as a backup. Continuous education and certification are also useful to enhance the skills of human resources in the waqf institutions concerning waqf management and accountability reporting.

Purpose – This study aims to analyse whether theories and views of classical Islamic scholars are widely adopted as references in Islamic accounting and finance (IAF), Islamic economics (IE) and Islamic business management (IBM) research studies as part of their contribution to solving current economic and financial problems. Design/methodology/approach – The research adopts a qualitative meta-analysis methodology using NVivo 12 with selected data from 474 international journal articles published between 1981 and 2021. The study considers 172 IAF articles, 111 IE articles and 191 IBM articles. Findings – The results of the study show that the use of theories and views of classical Islamic scholars is not widespread among the examined research papers. The findings show that 90% of researchers tend to acquire modern economics, management, psychological and sociological theories instead of classical theories. Both modern and classical theories have been discussed in the studied articles namely agency theory, stakeholders’ theory, h _ isbah (accountability), maqas _ id al-Sharıʿah (objectives of Islamic law) and waʿd (unilateral promise). The gaps prevail not only in the taxonomy of terms but also in the choice of paradigm references. It is found that 66% of the 474 journal articles adopt a positivist paradigm, followed by interpretivism (19%), poststructuralism (9%) and critical orientation (6%). Research limitations/implications – This paper considers only ABS ranking journal articles. Future research may consider other journal articles from different ranking groups such as Scopus or Thomson & Reuters. Practical implications – The paper sheds light on how Islamic educational institutions can develop strategies for the Integration of Knowledge (IOK) in their curriculum. Social implications – This paper helps to shape the Muslims’ way of thinking within an Islamic worldview which will lead to an Islamic way of expressing knowledge, skill and behaviour. Originality/value – This paper contributes to the model of IOK that has been deliberated among Islamic universities, especially those that develop IAF, IE and IBM studies.

The main objective of this research is to investigate factors influencing the growth of Islamic banks’ assets in Indonesia. Firstly, this research adopts Granger Causality Test under Vector Auto-Regression (VAR) method and secondly, it adopts Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) through Impulse Response Function (IRF) and Forecasted Error Variance Decomposition (FEVD) analyses. The period of the research is from March 2004 to December 2009 and the data are time-series data that are cited from SEKI-BI, SPS, SPI, BPS and annual reports. The finding of Granger Causality Test in Indonesian Islamic banks concludes that industrial production does not have causal relationship with asset growth. This is due to the size of industrial production, which is too big to cause the asset growth and the size of Islamic banks’ asset, which is too small (2.5%) to cause the industrial production in the country. Conclusion of VECM model through its IRF and FEVD is that inflation and interest rate are major variables that negatively affect the asset growth while industrial production, human capital and office branch and channeling are variables that contribute positive impact to the asset growth. Although the impact is insignificant, human capital and office branch and channeling promise long-term positive impact to asset growth.

This study aims to propose a model of Zero Waste Accounting in Islamic Financial Institutions in Indonesia and how it is relevant to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Due to the nature of the research which is exploration thus the research adopts interpretative approach which is essential to validate the research with “convincingness” approach rather than positivist measures of the reliability, validity of data and the generalization of results. The finding documents that Zero Waste Accounting is in vein with the spirit of Maqashid ul-Shariah that has been embedded as a part of the purpose of Islamic financial institution establishment. Statement of Sources and Uses of Zero Waste Accounting should become one of the additional disclosures. The paper sheds a light the need on Zero Waste Accounting for the accounting standard setters.

This study aims to determine factors that affect family financial management from the maqâshid syarī’ah approach according to Imam al-Ghazali. The predicted factors are family control, family financial education, spiritual quotient, consumption behavior and saving behavior. Data collected using questionnaires distributed through hard copy and online. 110 respondents were collected and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results indicate that family financial education, consumption behavior and saving behavior have a significant effect on family financial management, while family control and spiritual quotient do not affect family financial management. This research contributes to the development of the maqâshid sharīa perspective in the field of family financial management.

One of the problems that occur in the development of cash waqf in Indonesia is the managerial system and financial reporting. Currently, the safety of waqf data is not guaranteed and is not integrated yet between Islamic Financial Institution – Cash Waqf Recipient/LKS-PWU (Lembaga Keuangan Syari’ah – Penerima Wakaf Uang), Nazir, and BWI (Badan Wakaf Indonesia). The blockchain system comes with changing a centralized approach to being decentralized. The use of the blockchain system in managing waqf funds can be a solution to the problem of waqf that occurs. Therefore, this study aims to examine the implementation of blockchain technology in increasing the accountability and transparency of cash waqf in Indonesia. This study adopts an interview technique with seven practitioners and academics in collecting data and using thematic analysis in the analysis. The research finds that the level of accountability in the waqf management by the LKS-PWU of the Islamic bank is quite acceptable, as evidenced by the fulfillment of five accountability indicators by the LKS-PWU. However, it must be improved in several aspects such as data security, data integration, and real-time reporting. Strategies for increasing accountability include the blockchain implementation in the waqf management both in collecting and distributing waqf by LKS-PWU. The opportunity to apply blockchain to waqf management is very potential because the blockchain system has several advantages such as speed, transparency, and a higher level of security than the conventional system.
