The development of Islamic financial institutions requires an audit mechanism that not only ensures Sharia compliance but also evaluates the effectiveness of social responsibility programs aligned with maqashid Sharia principles. Sharia audit plays a crucial role in strengthening transparency, accountability, and public trust by assessing both financial and social performance. This research employs a qualitative conceptual approach supported by an analysis of relevant literature to explore the integration of Sharia audit, Islamic Social Reporting, and governance frameworks.

Consequently, Sharia audit functions as a strategic instrument in balancing economic objectives and social responsibility within the Islamic finance ecosystem.]]>
