Some of the scholars\u0000argued that ESA is more independent and is able to strengthen the existing Shariah compliance in the industry.\u0000Methodology – This study employs a qualitative method by utilising semi-structured interviews with nine key industry\u0000players: Shariah auditors, Heads of Shariah audit, Shariah Committee (SC) Member, and Chief Shariah Officer. Data\u0000gathered from the interviews was transcribed and analysed using Atlas.ti software.\u0000Findings– A series of interviews reveal that given the current practices by the Islamic banking industry, it could be\u0000inferred that the Malaysian Islamic banking industry is not ready to exercise the ESA practices. This unreadiness is due\u0000to several factors, such as ESA costs outweighing its benefits, the fear of reputational risk, and anxiety of leaking\u0000confidential information to rivals.\u0000Novelty – The Shariah audit research especially relates to external Shariah audit is considered limited.\u0000Type of Paper: Empirical\u0000JEL Classification: E44, G10, G20.\u0000Keywords: External Shariah audit; Islamic Banks; qualitative method; Shariah governance; Malaysia","PeriodicalId":249743,"journal":{"name":"GATR Journal of Finance and Banking Review VOL. 6 (3) SEPTEMBER- DECEMBER 2021","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127021648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
