Abstract

Introduction Islamic Rural Banks (Bank Perekonomian Rakyat Syariah abbreviated BPRS in Bahasa Indonesia) play a vital role in promoting Islamic finance in Indonesia. Central to their operation is the Sharia Supervisory Board (Dewan Pengawas Syariah abbreviated DPS in Bahasa Indonesia), tasked with ensuring that all financial activities align with Islamic principles. Despite their importance, gaps in the implementation of Sharia compliance suggest limitations in Sharia Supervisory Board effectiveness, which may undermine the integrity of Islamic Rural Banks operations. Objectives This study investigates the effectiveness of the Sharia Supervisory Board in maintaining Sharia compliance within an Islamic Rural Bank in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It aims to identify key challenges, such as regulatory clarity, institutional support, and the qualifications of the Sharia Supervisory Board members, and their impact on the Islamic Rural Bank’s governance and performance. Method The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Data were collected through structured interviews with Sharia Supervisory Board members, Islamic Rural Bank executives, and regulatory bodies, alongside a review of regulatory documents and institutional records. The study uses thematic analysis and statistical tools to evaluate the factors influencing the Sharia Supervisory Board’s effectiveness. Results Findings reveal that the effectiveness of the Sharia Supervisory Board is significantly influenced by their qualifications, access to training, and institutional support. Regulatory ambiguities lead to inconsistent Sharia compliance practices across Islamic Rural Banks. Institutions with robust internal frameworks and better resource allocation exhibit higher levels of Sharia compliance and customer trust. Implications The study highlights the necessity for comprehensive training programs, more explicit regulatory guidelines, and more substantial institutional support to enhance the role of the Sharia Supervisory Board. These improvements are essential for maintaining the credibility of Islamic financial institutions and fostering customer confidence. Originality/Novelty This research contributes to the literature on Islamic finance governance by addressing systemic and practical challenges faced by the Sharia Supervisory Board in Islamic Rural Banks. It offers actionable recommendations for policymakers, regulators, and financial institutions to strengthen the governance and compliance mechanisms in Islamic banking.

Abstract

In the context of Islamic banks, profitability is shaped by Sharia-compliant practices, which emphasize ethical finance and risk-sharing. While financial ratios such as Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR), and Operational Expenses to Operational Revenue Ratio (BOPO) are commonly used to assess profitability, their combined effects remain underexplored in Indonesian Islamic banking. This study examines the individual and collective impacts of CAR, FDR, and BOPO on the profit growth of Indonesian Islamic banks between 2015 and 2017. It seeks to identify key determinants of profitability and provide actionable insights for optimizing financial performance. Using a quantitative approach, the study analyzes secondary financial data from seven Islamic banks registered with Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority. Multiple linear regression was employed to evaluate the relationships between the independent variables (CAR, FDR, BOPO) and the dependent variable (profit growth). Descriptive statistics and diagnostic tests ensured the validity and reliability of the findings. The findings reveal that FDR significantly impacts profit growth, highlighting the importance of efficient liquidity utilization. BOPO has a significant negative effect, underscoring the critical role of operational efficiency in shaping profitability. In contrast, CAR has a negative but statistically insignificant impact on profit growth, suggesting that capital adequacy enhances stability but does not directly drive profitability. The results emphasize the need for Islamic banks to optimize financing activities, reduce operational inefficiencies, and strategically allocate capital to income-generating projects. Policymakers should consider supporting these efforts through tailored regulatory frameworks and incentives for technological adoption to enhance efficiency.

Abstract

QRIS-based e-Payment has changed the way of modern payments with its convenience and efficiency. However, concerns have arisen about the protection of personal data and the principle of consent in these transactions. The principle of consent on the other hand is a major concern as it requires clear and voluntary consent in data collection and processing, but QRIS-based transactions often do not meet this standard since the information provided is less transparent to users. Current legal regulations such as the Civil Code have not been fully able to address the protection of personal data and electronic transactions that are increasingly common. In response to these existing issues, this study examines the protection of the principle of consent in transactions using QRIS and voices the need for legal adaptation that is more relevant to the latest technology. The formulation of the problem contained in this study is: First, What information is transmitted by the payment method through QRIS generally in digital transactions? Second, How is the Application of the Principle of Consent in the Agreement on Information Given in QR-Code Transactions. The research method used is the normative juridical method with a statutory approach by examining relevant regulations. Research results: First, the transmitted data such as user identity, payment amount, date and time, transaction reference number, transaction description, merchant code, merchant name and identity, and payment account information. Second, from the perspective of the principle of consent, it emphasizes the existence of an agreement or meeting of mind between the parties which is implemented through the offer and acceptance of QR codes, approval of information, intention to be bound by the transaction and have the same understanding to carry out the transaction.Keywords: E-Payment, QRIS, principle of consent AbstrakE-Payment berbasis QRIS telah mengubah cara pembayaran modern dengan kemudahan dan efisiensinya. Namun, muncul perhatian tentang perlindungan data pribadi dan asas konsensualisme dalam transaksi ini. Asas konsensualisme di sisi lain juga menjadi perhatian utama karena memerlukan persetujuan jelas dan suka rela dalam pengumpulan dan pengolahan data, namun transaksi berbasis QRIS sering tidak memenuhi standar ini dengan informasi yang kurang transparan bagi pengguna. Aturan hukum saat ini seperti KUHPerdata belum sepenuhnya mampu mengatasi perlindungan data pribadi dan transaksi elektronik yang semakin umum terjadi. Dalam menyikapi isu yang ada, penelitian ini mengkaji perlindungan asas konsensualisme dalam transaksi menggunakan QRIS serta menyuarakan perlunya adaptasi hukum yang lebih relevan dengan teknologi mutakhir. Rumusan masalah dalam penelitian ini adalah: Pertama, Apa saja informasi yang ditransmisikan oleh metode pembayaran melalu QRIS umumnya pada transaksi digital? Kedua, Bagaimana Penerapan Asas Konsualisme Dalam Kesepakatan Informasi Yang Diberikan Dalam Transaksi QR-Code. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalah metode yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dengan mengkaji peraturan-peraturan yang relevan. Hasil penelitian: Pertama, data yang ditransmisikan seperti identitas pengguna, jumlah pembayaran, tanggal dan waktu, nomor referensi transaksi, deskripsi transaksi, kode merchant, nama dan identitas merchant, serta informasi rekening pembayaran. Kedua, pada perspektif asas konsensualisme, menekankan pada adanya kesepakatan atau meeting of mind antara para pihak yang diterapkan melalui penawaran dan penerimaan QR code, persetujuan atas informasi, niat untuk terikat dalam transaksi dan memiliki kesepahaman yang sama untuk melakukan transaksi.Kata Kunci: E-Payment, QRIS, asas konsensualisme

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the factors that determine the profitability of insurance Takaful companies in Palestine; the study population consisted of insurance Companies listed at the Palestine Stock Exchange during the period (2018-2022). We collected the data from the reports of two Takaful Insurance companies for the period 2018-2022. The researcher used the multiple regression econometrics models.  The study shows that profitability was usually expressed as a function of internal and external determinants. Results of the study confirm that liquidity, Leverage are the factors that significantly affect the profitability of Takaful insurance companies in Palestine. Size, Leverage, Tangibility of assets, Growth rate of GDP, and Inflation Rate affect the profitability positively, but liquidity has a negative effect on profitability. Size, Tangibility of assets, Growth rate of GDP, and Inflation Rate have insignificant impacts on ROE and ROA. The key implications of these findings suggest that Palestinian insurance companies should consider diversifying their portfolios beyond motor insurance to improve profitability. Additionally, it is recommended that companies explore merger opportunities to increase operational scale and achieve economies of scale. Furthermore, maintaining a high level of liquidity is crucial, as it allows companies to effectively secure bids and promptly settle claims, which not only enhances their reputation but also positively impacts profitability.
