The study examines the stakeholders’ perspectives who are involved directly and/or indirectly with Shariah compliance auditing of Islamic financial institutions on the issues of Shariah auditing standards, auditors’ qualifications, and independence. Auditing Islamic financial institutions cover a broader scope than the financial statement auditing. The auditors are not only conducting financial audits but also conduct tests on the Shariah compliance according to Shariah resolution and guidelines set by the centralized Shariah Board and/ or the industry Shariah Body. The Shariah audit review is unique due to the requirement in ensuring that all business activities and operations adhere to Shariah principles. The limited resourceful auditors that possess both Shariah and technical accounting/auditing qualifications and the issue of independence may affect the reputable image of Islamic financial institutions. This study is based on a literature review from past studies. Evidence from past studies mostly emphasizes the importance of auditors' qualifications and independence in determining the Islamic financial market’s growth. The paper suggests practical actions to regulators in formulating regulated professional governance structure for Shariah auditors.

Humans are social creatures who need each other to socialize or to fulfill their needs, such as primary, secondary and tertiary needs. In this life there are 2 (two) groups of people, namely groups of people who are overfunded and those who are underfunded. Therefore, banks and non-bank financial institutions have emerged as intermediaries between the 2 (two) groups of the people so that the balance can occur in meeting the needs of each life. In Indonesia, there are many conventional and sharia bank and non-bank financial institutions that provide financing services to meet human needs. The fundamental difference between conventional and Islamic financial institutions is the use of the interest system which is usury in conventional financial institutions and the use of profit sharing systems in Islamic financial institutions.
