Islamic Accounting and Finance: A Handbook (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

Islamic finance is one of the fastest-growing sectors in international banking and finance. Owing to the increasing availability and ease of access to Islamic services, Islamic finance has become more and more important not only in Muslim countries but around the world, thus making it a global industry. In some regions such as the Middle East and North Africa and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), a dual financial system is implemented, where Sharia-compliant products are marketed alongside conventional financial systems.In this collection of high-quality meticulously collected chapters, researchers from around the world examine the role of Islamic finance in companies' economies and prospects. They discuss Islamic finance literature from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. The theoretical section of the book consists of chapters, theoretical and conceptual, that enable readers to critically evaluate and expand the broader areas of accounting and finance knowledge. The empirical section of this handbook for scholars, students and banking and finance practitioners consists of chapters that offer empirical evidence that discuss and interpret the findings and how they contribute to society and regulators by providing appropriate practical implications.
