Abstract

This study examines how the characteristics and quality of Shari'a supervisory board (SSB) influence the insolvency risk of Islamic banks. It employs unbalanced panel data of 43 Islamic banks in 15 countries between 2010 and 2020, which are hand-collected from the banks’ annual reports. The results indicate that the SSB quality index, SSB Islamic finance professional expertise and SSB competency increase insolvency risk while the SSB members with PhDs reduce it. Meanwhile, SSB size, SSB meetings, SSB gender diversity (SSBG) and SSB members from foreign countries have no significant influence on the insolvency risk. These findings have implications for policymakers and regulators in carving policies and regulations in restraining the SSB from taking excessive risk. They can also guide the Islamic banks' board of directors and shareholders in appointing the SSB members.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between corporate attributes and the probability of bankruptcy among halal food and beverage companies in five countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Analyzing data from 56 firms from 2008 to 2021 using static panel data method, we find that the working capital period (cash conversion cycle), leverage, and firm growth increase the probability of bankruptcy for these companies. In contrast, liquidity, profitability, and firm size reduce bankruptcy probability. The findings reveal essential firm attributes that can guide the management of halal food and beverage firms, relevant regulators, and potential investors in ensuring the firms’ long-term viability.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of board attributes on the stability of Islamic banks and whether the presence a standalone risk management committee (SARC) moderates their relation. Applying the feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) regression as well as the two-step system generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator for robustness to a panel sample of 43 Islamic banks across 15 countries over eleven years from 2010 to 2020, we document evidence suggesting that board meetings, board gender diversity and foreign directors do not influence the stability of Islamic banks. Conversely, board members holding doctorate degrees (PhDs) significantly and negatively affect the stability of Islamic banks. In addition, the presence of SARC significantly improves the stability of Islamic banks. The study further finds that SARC partially and positively moderates the effects of board members with PhDs and foreign directors on the stability of Islamic banks.
