Corporate Governance for Islamic NPO series
The Corporate Governance for Islamic NPO’s series of conferences were hosted from 2020 to 2021. It was jointly hosted by the Association of Muslim Accountants and Lawyers (AMAL), AWQAF SA, the South African Zakah Fund (SANZAF) and the United Ulema Council of South Africa (UUCSA).
The objective of hosting it, was to promote the effective governance in Islamic NPO’s and to ensure that organisations are run in an exemplary fashion in accordance with the Shari’ah, the tenets of Sacred Law, and in compliance with the laws of the land.
A ground-breaking Corporate Governance Code for Muslim NPOs was officially launched during a webinar held on the 31st October 2021, the aim was to launch a code that would enhance and empower local NPOs in terms of effective governance principles.
