Islamic corporate governance serves through its underlying principles of economic well-being of the Ummah, universal brotherhood, justice, accountabilities and equitable distribution of income. Therefore, while the virtues of Islam have always advocated good corporate governance, the challenge to us lies in its application. For Islamic banking institutions, good corporate governance should have already been embedded in all aspects of their operations. Closely linked to the corporate governance issue is the role of market discipline. Central to the effectiveness of the corporate governance arrangements is the empowerment of shareholders. This would mean providing the conditions under which shareholders have both the incentive and the means to act to discipline Management. The market for corporate control is an important way in which shareholders exercise, in effect, an ultimate discipline over bank Management on the premise of allocating capital where sound management is practised. Third, greater transparency and disclosure of information Transparency and disclosure is essential particularly in a rapidly changing environment. While the comprehensive and timely availability of financial information will increase market discipline, the disclosure of information needs to be complemented with the ability of the market players to analyse, and appropriately interpret the information. Closely related to this issue is the need to strengthen the framework for consumer protection to provide an avenue for redress due to lack of transparency.
