“…Table 4 shows that there was a significant difference in Shariah governance disclosure between local and foreign IBs. The requirements and guidelines of Shariah governance such as IFSA, SGF and GP8-i would encourage better quality and more disclosure among local IBs (Masruki et al 2018a;Ahmed & Mohamad 2019). As for foreign banks, they may have different views depending on their origin countries.…”

“…The Sharia governance framework effectively ensures Sharia compliance in Islamic financial institutions (Hilmy & Hassan, 2019). Hilmy & Hassan (2019) and Ahmed & Mohamad (2019) explain that the Islamic governance framework usually consists of important key functions: accountability and responsibility, independence, competence, confidentiality and consistency, shariah compliance, research function, management and supervision, shariah advisory board, shariah compliance and review, and transparency and disclosure. The pillars of sharia governance are management and supervision, sharia advisory, Sharia compliance and review, and disclosure and transparency (Minhas, 2012).…”

“…DPS oversees Sharia internal compliance, risk, and internal audit to ensure the implementation of Islamic Sharia principles in Islamic banking (Minaryanti & Mihajat, 2023). Shariah governance practices in Islamic banking emphasize independence, accountability, and transparency, which are important to ensure good governance and compliance with Shariah principles (Ahmed & Mohamad, 2019). Therefore, the relationship between Islamic banking and Sharia governance is integral in maintaining Islamic financial institutions' ethical and legal compliance and ensuring financial health and stability.…”

“…ESA provides an additional layer of independent assurance to stakeholders of IFIs due to their position as an external party to the institution (Ahmed, 2017;UKIFC & ISRA, 2016;Islamic Finance Council & ISRA, 2012). Many of earlier research on ESA focused on IFIs covering Islamic banks and takaful operators.…”

“…There are challenges highlighted by countries that had adopted ESA for the IFIs. Ahmed (2017) raised the issue of availability of human resources as he had interviewed regulator and industry practitioner in Pakistan where they had taken the initiatives to train professional accountants and Shariah experts to equip them with necessary skills to conduct effective ESA. Further, in Pakistan ESA report will remain as off-limits to the public.…”
