John Wiley and Sons, Inc., a global provider of content and
content-enabled workflow solutions in areas of scientific, technical,
medical, and scholarly research; professional development; and
education, today announces the publication of Islamic
Finance: The New Regulatory Challenge, 2nd Edition.
The book addresses the need for financial institutions to develop common
Islamic international accounting and auditing standards that minimize
the difference between Shariah rulings, the standardization of
acceptable banking practices, the development of standardized financial
products, and the role of the Shari’ah Boards in establishing common
rules regarding the permissibility of financial instruments and markets.
With a foreword by Dr. Zeti Akhtar Aziz, Governor to Bank Negara
Malaysia, this new edition includes eighty percent new material with
contributions from leading authorities on Islamic finance from around
the world. It covers the latest regulatory developments and issues
surrounding the twenty-first century Islamic banking, finance and
financial markets.
“The second edition addresses the implications of the recent global
financial crisis on the regulation of Islamic financial services. The
book has dealt with the relevant regulatory issues in a timely manner
and would be much welcomed by both practitioners and academics,” Dr.
Zeti Akhtar Aziz writes.
The content delivers a comprehensive in-depth coverage of critical
regulatory and related issues including, “Problems for new Islamic
financial products posed by traditional regulatory frameworks,”
“Potential conflicts between Shari’ah rulings and standardized Islamic
banking practices,” “Shortcomings of conventional regulatory,” and many
more.
Co-edited by two of the world’s most respected authorities on the
subject, Simon Archer and Rifaat Ahmed Abdel Karim, this book satisfies
the need for information on core principles, ethical foundations, and
the regulatory constraints governing Islamic finance. It is also a
valuable resource for financial professionals and investors interested
in capitalizing on the many exciting opportunities available now and in
the years ahead.
Twenty-three leading authorities that contribute to the book are namely
Volker Nienhaus, Peter Casey, John Board, and KFH Research’s Baljeet
Kaur Grewal to mention a few.
Islamic Finance: The New Regulatory Challenge, 2nd Edition is
now available at all major bookstores nationwide. This 512-page book is
priced at US $120.00.
