All results of operations managed in a Sharia Financial Institution should use a system that does not harm either party in accordance with applicable accounting standards. The accounting basis is the accounting principle that determines when the effects of transactions or events must be recognized for financial reporting purposes. Which accounting base is used by a particular organization, depending on the policies and conditions that exist. Regardless of which accounting basis is used, this paper will explain both of these accounting bases that exist in practice, both in the private sector and the public sector including government, to review the National Sharia Board Fatwa Number 14 / DSN-DSN / IX / 2000 Concerning Distribution Systems Business Results in Islamic Financial Institutions.The approach used in this paper is the hadith study approach to the legal basis contained in the DSN Fatwa concerning Business Results Distribution System in Islamic Financial Institutions.

This article describes the corporate governance role of financial institutions in their portfolio companies during typical co‐operative circumstances and during periods of corporate need and difficulty. The breakdown of relationships and the use of the market for control is also explored. Confidential case studies were prepared from interviews with senior directors and fund managers in UK based financial institutions. The implicit influence process was constrained by FI unwillingness to interfere in good performing companies and by limited FI power in co‐operative circumstances. However, the case FIs were able to use their quasi insider knowledge advantage to diagnose problem areas in strategy, management quality, and the effectiveness of the board, and their negative impact on financial performance. They kept this diagnosis in reserve until circumstances arose where they could exercise much stronger influence. The article ends by exploring this extensive private influence process within institutionalist theory and by discussing the implications of this behaviour for policy changes.

Small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) have long been recognised as one of the cornerstones of a country's development. It is, thus, important to understand what contributes to their success as well as the difficulties they face. Surveys have shown that the lack of available financing from financial institutions is one of the biggest problems facing small businesses today. In this paper, we try to identify the aspects of obtaining financing that SMEs have most problems with as well as to determine which firm-specific factors (such as type of set-up, size of operation, years in operation and type of industry) contribute to the firms' ability to borrow. The results of our survey indicate that the main reasons firms do not apply for financing from financial institutions are that they are unable or unwilling to provide information required; that they have other sources of funds available; and the high interest rates charged by the financial institutions. For the firms that applied, the main difficulties faced were the lack of collateral, the lack of proven track records, the lack of proper business plans and the need to show good sales turnover. Actions that may be taken by the SMEs, the financial institutions, the Singapore government and tertiary institutions are also discussed in this paper.

This book offers a key resource for understanding and implementing effective data governance practices and data modeling within financial organizations. Keenan outlines the strategies and tools needed for financial institutions to take charge and make the much-needed decisions to ensure that their firm's information processing assets are effectively designed, deployed, and utilized to meet the strict regulatory guidelines. It includes practical observations about how information assets can be actively and effectively managed to create competitive advantage and improved financial results. It also includes a survey of case studies that highlight both the positive and less positive results that have stemmed from institutions either recognizing or failing to recognize the strategic importance of information processing capabilities. --
