Purpose Shari’ah is the foundation of Islamic banks. Although all the Islamic banks required complying with the Shari’ah requirements fully, the level of compliance differs among the Islamic banks. At the same time, Islamic banks have been performing well, but all do not demonstrate similar financial performance. This paper aims to explore whether Shari’ah compliance efficiency makes any difference in financial performance of Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited (IBBL). Design/methodology/approach This study used IBBL as a case. For exploring the issue of study, this paper applied an e-mail interview approach and interviewed 24 interviewees including financial analysts, IBBL clients and executives of regulatory bodies, the IBBL and other Islamic- and interest-based traditional banks. Interview opinions are then analyzed and interpreted for a deeper understanding of the topic. Findings The study observed that some other factors influence the financial performance of IBBL, but Shari’ah compliance is the dominant instinct of acquiring the leading position. Superior Shari’ah compliance creates internal strengths and external opportunities that facilitate IBBL in achieving higher financial performance. Most interviewees argued that Shari’ah is the only disposition that makes IBBL unique. Moreover, the bank that considerably follows Shari’ah gets better financial outcomes. Research limitations/implications The study used a qualitative method using interview responses only for evaluating the relationship between Shari’ah compliance and financial performance. Further study may be conducted based on a quantitative approach. Practical implications This paper expects to uphold the significance of Shari’ah in improving the financial performance of IBBL and simultaneously motivating the parties associated with the Islamic banks in enhancing the level of Shari’ah compliance. Moreover, this study provides new insights into the importance Islamic banks and their performance in relation to the choice of customers. Originality/value This study explores the significance of Shari’ah compliance in creating avenues for greater financial performance and develops a model showing the ways how Shari’ah compliance leads Islamic banks to achieve higher financial positions.

The objective of this study is to provide empirical evidence on the influence of financial performance based on the framework of Maqashid Sharia toward the company value moderated by the Islamic Social Reporting (ISR) of Islamic banking in Indonesia. This study applied Agency Theory, Signaling Theory and Legitimacy Theory to justify the relationship between the variables studied. The sample of this study consisted of 11 Islamic Banks in Indonesia. Data were collected from financial statements and annual reports published by Bank Indonesia (BI) and Islamic Banks for the fiscal year of 2011-2015. Data were analyzed based on Moderating Regression Analysis (MRA). The results showed that financial performance, ISR and the interaction between the financial performances and the ISR does not simultaneously affect the company value at a significance level of 5%. However, it showed a significance level at 10% level of confidence. Partially, the results do not show that financial performance nor the ISR has influence on the company value. The result also indicated that ISR does not moderate the relationship between the financial performance and the company value. Keywords: financial performance, Islamic social reporting, company value.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between the modified integrated Islamic CSRD index (MIICSRDi) and financial performance of Malaysian Islamic banks as perceived by the stakeholders. Design/methodology/approach This paper used survey questionnaire with a purposive sample of 343 stakeholders of Malaysian Islamic banks. A theoretical framework was developed and tested by using partial least square analysis. Findings The findings reveal that there is a significant positive relationship between the MIICSRDi and financial performance as perceived by the stakeholders. Research limitations/implications There is a lack of empirical research proposing an Islamic CSRD framework that is suitable to be applied within the context of the Malaysian environment. Hence, this paper shows that MIICSRDi in line with the stakeholder theory, Shariah principles and ‘urf principle (customary practice) can be used by Malaysian Islamic banks to increase their performance. Practical implications MIICSRDi can be used as one of the strategies to improve the financial performance of Islamic banks. In fact, it can be instilled in the value-based intermediation introduced by Bank Negara Malaysia for the rebranding of Islamic banks. Originality/value The relationship between perceived MIICSRDi and perceived financial performance is explained in light of the stakeholder theory, Shariah principles (unity, equilibrium, free will, responsibility and tazkiyah) and ‘urf principle (customary practice).

The study explores how financial performance (FP) affects the corporate social responsibility (CSR) of the banking sector of Pakistan. Further, it also elaborates the comparison between FP and CSR of Islamic and conventional banks of Pakistan. The study is based on the annual reports of banks listed at Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSE) for the years 2010-2016. The study used several panel data diagnostic tests and three regression models to check the relationship between FP and CSR of Islamic and conventional banks of Pakistan, while taking leverage and size as control variables. The results indicate that in case of conventional banks the relationship between ROE and CSR is negative. Here, the results are consistent with the agency theory which states that investment in CSR related activities is a waste of resources. While return on asset (ROA) is depicting negative and insignificant relationship with CSR, which depicts that FP does not have any impact on the investment in CSR initiatives. In the case of Islamic banks, the relationship between return on equity (ROE) and CSR is positive and significant. Here, the results support social contract and stakeholder theories. The research has important practical consequences that will help the banking industry managers to adopt optimal investment strategies about CSR related activities. The study provides guidelines to conventional banks to invest more in CSR in the same way Islamic banks are doing. The findings of the study lay some foundations upon which a more detailed analysis of CSR of banks could be based.

The Relationship

Corporate governance refers to the relationship present between the corporation and the stakeholders that determines and controls the strategic direction and performance of the corporation. Good corporate governance should provide adequate incentives for the board and management to pursue objectives that are in the interests of the company and shareholders, thereby encouraging firms to use resources more efficiently. However, the definition of accountability differs between conventional and Islamic Banks. Islam was made accountable not only to stakeholders, but also to Allah, the ultimate owner and authority. These powerful moral ethics help in promoting fair, just and honest business dealing. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between corporate governance structures and the resultant financial performance of listed Islamic banks of Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) in Bangladesh. The panel time series data were collected for the time period of 6 years (2009-2014) from all the listed Islamic banks to run an Ordinary Least Squared (OLS) regression model to examine whether the existing corporate governance mechanisms as well as several other internal and external indicators are significant in influencing the financial performance. Preliminary findings suggest corporate governance mechanisms in Islamic banks are not quite as strong as they should be, hinting at possible market and management inefficiencies.

The Relationship

Nowadays, listed companies around the world are shifting from short-term goals of maximizing profits to long-term sustainable environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals. People have come to realize that ESG has become an important source of the corporate risk and may affect the company’s financial performance and profitability. Recent research shows that good ESG performance could improve the financial performance in some countries. Yet, the question of “how does ESG affect financial performance” has not been thoroughly discussed and studied in China. In this article, we study China’s listed power generation groups to explore the relationship between ESG performance and financial indicators in the energy power market based on the panel regression model. The results show that good ESG performance can indeed improve financial performance, which has significant meanings for investors, company management, decisionmakers, and industry regulators.
