Abstract

Corporate governance (CG) refers to methods by which a corporation is directed, administered or controlled. CG is important to all corporations, and especially to Islamic banks, as these institutions have a moral dimension to their commercial transactions. The chapter discusses the challenges in CG implementation in Islamic banking using Malaysia as a case study. The chapter further proposes how standardization can be achieved in Islamic banking through better CG model.
