Shariah representative services
Named independent advisor — without the overhead of a full supervisory board
Many institutions — particularly in Hong Kong and cross-border desks — need a credible, named Shariah voice for stakeholders without staffing a three-scholar supervisory board. We act in an advisory representative capacity: reviewing materials, attending nominated meetings, and issuing periodic written statements on Shariah matters within an agreed mandate.
We are not your Shariah Supervisory Board in the regulatory sense unless your governance documents explicitly appoint us as such under your own legal framework. We do not make binding fatwas on behalf of depositors or investors, and we do not accept regulatory liability for your licensed activities.
Regulatory & filing support
Review Shariah-related sections of licence applications, periodic returns, and regulator correspondence for consistency with your approved opinions — you submit; we advise on wording.
Public-facing materials
Annual reports, website copy, investor presentations, and Sukuk offering summaries — checked for Shariah accuracy before you publish.
Board & committee attendance
Attend Shariah committee or board sessions as external advisor (in person or remote), within an agreed annual allocation of sessions.
Stakeholder enquiries
Support management responses to investor, rating-agency, or partner questions on Shariah structure — draft comments for your approval.
Annual Shariah statement
Written advisory statement on the Shariah compliance framework for the period — suitable for internal governance; not a substitute for audited financial statements.
Escalation channel
Priority access for urgent Shariah questions arising between scheduled reviews, subject to retainer terms.
Typical retainer rhythm
Quarterly touchpoints · pre-agreed meeting quota · annual written statement · ad-hoc material reviews within scope
