Refresher of AAOIFI Financial Accounting Standards (FAS)

سياق البرنامج
This workshop is part of the Core Practitioner Suite, building implementation capacity in accounting and finance functions across Islamic financial institutions. It provides a structured, cross-contract coverage of AAOIFI Financial Accounting Standards most relevant to banking practice.

Why This Programme Matters
Accounting for Islamic finance products is distinct from IFRS practice across every major contract family. Finance teams, auditors, and analysts need to understand these differences, apply FAS requirements correctly, and navigate the practical implementation challenges that arise in daily operations and financial reporting.
