In the News: AAOIFI and Ethica Institute Sign Partnership


November 4, 2020 — Two of the Islamic finance industry’s major institutions joined in partnership today. The Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI, pronounced “a-yo-fee"), the industry’s leading standard-setting body, and Ethica Institute of Islamic Finance, a leading training and certification institute, today announced a partnership. This will be the first time that AAOIFI is partnering with an organization with Ethica’s global reach.

The partnership announces three major initiatives:

  1. AAOIFI now officially recognizes Ethica’s award-winning Certified Islamic Finance Executive (CIFE) and Advanced CIFE (ACIFE) programs for continuing professional development (CPD) purposes. Further, Ethica grants AAOIFI Fellows exclusive discounts.

  2. Ethica is now an Official AAOIFI Candidate Registration Center for the Certified Islamic Professional Accountant (CIPA) and Certified Shari'ah Advisor and Auditor (CSAA) programs, which will be promoted to Ethica’s graduates and institutional clients. AAOIFI grants Ethica’s institutional and individual clients exclusive discounts and exemptions through this arrangement.

  3. AAOIFI and Ethica will now also jointly issue co-branded certificates in face-to-face and online training events.

Mr. Omar Mustafa Ansari, Secretary General, AAOIFI, said, “The role Ethica has played in promoting the cause of standardization of best practices in Islamic finance, especially in the fields of Shari'ah and accounting, that too for the last two decades, is indeed praiseworthy. They have always put AAOIFI standards at the heart of all their certification and training programs for which we are grateful. We believe that our partnership with Ethica is natural and necessary as their certifications serve Islamic finance enthusiasts with a genuine stepping stone towards specialization through our own CIPA and CSAA programs.”

Ethica’s Founder and Managing Director, Atif R. Khan, said, “This is a historic occasion for Ethica. Since our inception nearly twenty years ago, we have admired AAOIFI’s impressive work, especially their magnum opus, the Shariah Standards document, a working testament of sound traditional scholarship and rigorous methodology. We intend for this partnership to not only promote AAOIFI and Ethica’s own objectives, but also the greater good of industry-wide Shariah authenticity and harmonization.”
