Islamic finance in Europe (130)

Continuation
In addition, particular transactions in Islamic banks need to be considered in relation to risk exposure, given their unique characteristics.
For example, institutions following the AAOIFI standards on accounting will be engaged in transactions such as operational leases.
AAOIFI is the Accounting and Auditing Organisation for Islamic Financial Institutions.
In cases such as these, tangible assets will have to appear in the balance sheets of Islamic banks.
It will appear as non-current assets together with depreciation and amortisation costs.
Thereby it results in direct exposure to inflationary risk.
Such accounting requires sufficient risk management to ensure that the risk of inflation is:
-      anticipated
-      and reported
accordingly.
