A comprehensive understanding of Islamic finance principles in just five days - enabling board members and executives to meet the challenge of the Islamic banking industry
IFAAS, the international consultancy that specialises in Islamic finance, today announced dates for its best-in-class executive training programme: The Fundamentals of Islamic Banking and Finance, Istanbul, June 8-12, which will be delivered in Arabic. The programme - already delivered to hundreds of delegates across the world - has been tailored specifically for executives from banks and financial institutions, including Board Members, CEOs, CFOs, COOs, Finance Directors, General Managers, Senior Managers and Department Heads. In five days, the comprehensive training programme provides delegates with the knowledge they need to understand the challenges and opportunities that Islamic finance represents.
Through The Fundamentals of Islamic Banking and Finance, delegates will receive an understanding of Islamic financial products, including underlying structures, technical characteristics and applications; Shariah compliance and Shariah governance requirements. The training programme addresses the challenges of conversion, and examines actionable strategies for tackling these challenges while minimising the impact of conversion on the bank's profitability. It also examines risk within the Islamic banking framework.
The course materials for The Fundamentals of Islamic Banking and Finance are a powerful combination of theory, practicality and real life experience. In support of this approach, the course not only provides delegates with the theoretical concepts and practical applications of Islamic finance, but also a unique opportunity to visit some well-established Islamic financial institutions in Istanbul including Bank Asya and the Istanbul Stock Exchange. Delegates will also have many opportunities to network with their industry peers.
IFAAS trainers are acclaimed for their hands-on industry experience and academic qualifications, and this course is no exception. Leading The Fundamentals of Islamic Banking and Finance training programme are Shaher Abbas, Director, Shariah Compliance and Product Development, IFAAS; Dr. Shehab Marzban, Co-founder, Shekra Crowd Funding; and Dr. Wael Eid, Head of Risk Management, at SEDCO Holding Group.
