Poor and needy are among the low-income group who are the least ready individuals to adapt when emergency happens. Any calamities happened such as sickness, or accident can have a disastrous effect on their already low standard of living, which in turn decreases future income. As a result of this startling situation, the low-income group is recognized as at-risk population in the society due to the reality that they are plagued with various financial problems and still struggling to achieve socio-economic and health equalities (Haroun & Yusoff, 2019). We investigate the issues by evaluating the current risks encountered by Asnaf (Beneficiaries of Zakat fund). In particular, we focus on poor and needy group of people who had received financial assistance in the form of Entrepreneurship Programme organized by Lembaga Zakat Negeri Kedah. Even though Zakat collections kept rising year by year, it is still incapable to resolve the financial problems among the Asnaf especially during the time of emergency happens (Yahaya & Ahmad, 2019). The poverty issue and financial well-being are highly entangled; however, to the best knowledge of authors, there is limited studies that examine effective alternatives to channel fund to these poor and needy group who are deemed productive. Despite previous research has focused on Waqaf fund in proposing Microtakaful ( see for example Mikail and Saheed 2014,), there is a scarce empirical studies on the utilization of Zakat fund as a means to channel financial assistance to the poor and needy in the form of Microtaful scheme. Thus, this Study further notes that factors influencing the needs for Microtakaful protection, coupled with intervention from Zakat will influence financial well being of these targeted group of Asnaf. Besides, focus group and content analysis approach are used to gather primary data and identify and interpret relevant secondary data and Sharīʿah concepts in developing the Zakāh- and Waqf-based Microtakāful model.\u0000\u0000\u0000Keywords: Asnaf, Microtakaful, Poor and needy, Self employed, Zakat.","PeriodicalId":340394,"journal":{"name":"13th GLOBAL CONFERENCE ON BUSINESS AND SOCIAL SCIENCES","volume":"27 7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129322271","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}

In late 1997, 16 banks were insolvent and eventually closed (Margono, Sharma, & Melvin, 2010). Based on data from the World Bank, the economic growth declined sharply to -13.1% in 1998. Thus, to recover from the crisis, Indonesia’s economy needed about 51% of its GDP. Furthermore, the subsequent global financial crisis in 2008 slowed the Indonesian economic growth from 6.3% in 2007 to 6.1% in 2007 (Bank Indonesia, 2008). Hence, to avoid the same experience, the central bank devoted a thoughtful effort to maintain bank stability, including adopting the Basel principle, where capital is one of the strictly regulated aspects. This study is motivated by the journey of the Indonesian banking sector to achieve and maintain bank stability under different business cycles, from a country suffering amid the Asian financial crisis to achieving above 1 trillion GDP in late 2017 (World Bank, 2018). It is a bank-based country that faces the phenomena of “too big to fail,” “too important to fail” (Pangestu & Habir, 2002), and “too many to fail” (Brown & Din, 2011).\u0000\u0000\u0000Keywords: Bank Regulation, Bank Stability, Capital Regulation, Capital Requirement","PeriodicalId":340394,"journal":{"name":"13th GLOBAL CONFERENCE ON BUSINESS AND SOCIAL SCIENCES","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132211527","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}

Dividend is a fragment of a firm's distributable earnings1 that is announced by the firm's BOD with inputs from senior management (Baker, 2009). The dividends are determined according to the class of the firm's shareholders. Dividends can be given out as payments in cash, shares of stock or other assets. Dividend payment also affects the firm's ability to continue its earning in sustaining growth opportunities and shareholder wealth. The Asian financial crisis was a wake-up call for all Asian markets to recognise the structural issue that played an important part towards the disaster. Asian firms have however improved their corporate governance and transparency after the crisis. Consequently, the bond markets3 and equity markets4 especially in the United States, United Kingdom and Europe started to look into the prices of the Asian market. The investors found sustainable growth and income in the Asian market. Moreover, Asian countries for the last two decades have improved considerably and have been the driving engine for the world economic growth. Since firms in the Asian countries are not just about capital growth, firm's dividends are becoming the main sources of income for investors. Hence, distributing cash to shareholders via alternatives such as qualified dividends, stock splits and stock dividends, has increased significantly in many countries. In defining the determinants of dividend policy, numerous empirical studies have been conducted in many countries. Earlier studies include Lintner (1956) and Miller & Modigliani (1961). However, application of the dividend policy may be different across countries, either in terms of legal system or firm-specific differences. The differences complicate the transferability of dividend payments and decisions. Thus, dividend policy may vary across countries specifically in Singapore, Malaysia and Saudi Arabia, that over a period of time, has not been empirically investigated. Persistent focus on the developed market is another issue that endows fuzziness regarding dividend policy. Abandoning the developing and emerging markets also deters further new outlooks (Jabbouri, 2016).\u0000\u0000\u0000Keywords: Dividend policy, Generalized Method of Moment, Dynamic panel, key determinants","PeriodicalId":340394,"journal":{"name":"13th GLOBAL CONFERENCE ON BUSINESS AND SOCIAL SCIENCES","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133553512","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}

Capital budgeting practice refers to the aggregate tools/techniques for strategic investment decisions under risk and uncertainty conditions (Desai, 2019; Hillier et al., 2021). It involves a large cash outlay, expecting a future stream of benefits/income/return. Existing research suggests that financial and non-financial considerations influence managers‟ choices of CBTs across nations (Batri & Verma, 2017). One of the significant concerns of Oman‟s Ninth five-year development plan 2016-2020 is its focus on achieving a private sector-driven economy enabled by public-private partnership (PPP) projects and related growth strategies that will drive non-hydrocarbon and more excellent employment opportunities for the Omani nationals.

The practice of tax disputes must be able to describe how the government, in carrying out its duties, upholds the principle of justice to create tax trust in the wider community.Nevertheless, in reality, there are not a few objection decisions that cannot be defended in the Tax Court which results in the defeat of the DGT or the victory for the Taxpayers.

The highest percentage of DGT's wins occurred in 2017 which was 40 percent, while 2018 was the year where DGT's wins reached the lowest point of 28 percent.
