Program Overview: What is Islamic Finance and Shariah Governance (Malaysia)?
Islamic Finance & Shariah Governance (Malaysia) is for compliance officers, auditors, and banking professionals working under Malaysia's Shariah governance framework. It covers Islamic finance foundations and the Malaysian Shariah governance landscape. Participants work through Shariah compliance reviews, audit planning and evidence, and the handling of Shariah non-compliance events.
The course runs as governance case labs where participants conduct Shariah compliance reviews, plan audits, and document evidence to Bank Negara Malaysia expectations. Instructors coach on the governance hierarchy, from board to Shariah committee to compliance function, reviewing every workpaper for rigor. Non-compliance event scenarios teach proper classification, reporting, and remediation. It closes with a capstone where teams run an end-to-end governance case from review finding to board reporting.
Shariah non-compliance events, when mishandled, draw regulatory sanction from BNM and destroy customer confidence in an Islamic institution. Weak reviews and poor documentation leave boards exposed. This program teaches professionals to run Shariah governance the Malaysian way: systematic reviews, disciplined audits, and non-compliance handled by the book.
The capstone case lab produces a complete governance file: compliance review findings, audit workpapers, a classified non-compliance event with remediation plan, and board-ready reporting, all mapped to Malaysia's Shariah governance expectations. Teams present the file as they would to a Shariah committee. It is a working model participants can replicate in their own institutions.
Six modules and 24 hours: Islamic finance fundamentals, the Malaysian regulatory landscape, shariah compliance reviews, shariah audit planning, non-compliance event handling, and a capstone case lab. Every module pairs concepts with a guided lab, so each session moves from understanding to doing. Your team leaves with review checklists, audit plan templates, and a 90-day governance improvement roadmap built during the capstone.

Where this Training Fits in Your Team's learning path.
Shariah governance sits third in this path. Your team first learns banking basics and then how Islamic products and sukuk are structured, so they know what governance must oversee. This course covers Malaysia's Shariah governance framework, and the path ends by extending those principles to Takaful.

Connect Malaysian Shariah Governance Roles With Reviews, Evidence, and Escalation
Edstellar develops Shariah governance capability through product-review and assurance cases set in Malaysian Islamic finance. Participants map responsibilities, examine contract documentation, and plan risk-based audit work before handling a non-compliance event. The final case follows a finding through escalation and reporting, with feedback on evidence, accountability, and the proposed remediation roadmap.
- Step 01
Consult
We explore product familiarity, governance responsibilities, and inconsistencies in review methods, event classification, or audit evidence to identify the cohort's Shariah governance learning needs.
- Step 02
Plan
We establish Islamic contract foundations and Malaysian governance roles before product reviews and audit planning, then connect non-compliance handling and reporting in the end-to-end case.
- Step 03
Align
We align Shariah governance practice with compliance, audit, risk, and legal responsibilities, making board, committee, and operational reporting relationships clear without assuming specialist scholarship.
- Step 04
Customize
We adapt sample product documents and organizational charts to familiar institutional structures, including incomplete contract evidence and event scenarios that require a reasoned escalation decision.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants review product documents, draft audit evidence checklists, and classify simulated non-compliance events, receiving feedback on review rigor, reporting lines, and corrective-action ownership.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the governance case and findings presentation for supported conclusions, appropriate escalation, risk-based assurance coverage, and a roadmap that clearly assigns remediation and follow-up.
