1qwThe aim of this study is to assess the level of accounting involvement among participants in an Islamic microfinance program, and to propose a financial accounting and recordkeeping framework for Islamic wealth management practices that can be used by clients and families, this can also give them better insight into finance and their family business. To achieve the two research objectives, the authors used Participatory Action Research (PAR) by preparing an exercise questionnaire as a research instrument for participants for four months. The study is limited to discussing the empowerment of women/mixed participants through microfinance institutions in three countries (Indonesia, Pakistan and Egypt). Institutions selected as case studies provide funds and loans to meet their living needs and run their small businesses. The total participants involved in this study were 130 participants; 68 from Indonesia, 50 from Pakistan and 12 from Egypt. Overall, participants' knowledge of accounting and finance in the three countries is quite similar which is still relatively low. Yet they show a strong interest in adopting simple wealth management practices starting with recording their business assets and cash flows. This exercise initially showed the result that 95% of the participants had no knowledge of accounting matters such as recording their finances and making their financial plans. After three months of training, participants in Indonesia (35%) actively participated and found the exercise useful. As per Pakistan, only 30% of all participants filled out the research instrument. In terms of the IMF, Akhuwat Foundation Pakistan and Bab Rizq Jameel Egypt works with more expertise and professionalism than Baitut Tamkin Tazkia Madani (BTTM) Indonesia. The first two institutions released their annual reports including financial statements that have been audited by Big- Accounting Firms. BTTM on the other hand is still audited by an internal audit firm. Based on the findings, we recommend that regulators in charge of poverty alleviation policies need to focus on basic financial education, regular accounting and wealth management training and strict field supervision to equip the lower classes.
