Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation of Islamic governance within the context of Islamic Real Estate Investment Trust (I-REITs) in Malaysia. It draws on five standard governance framework of independence, confidentiality, competence, consistency and disclosure. Data from Islamic REIT's companies annual reports and interviews from relevant authorities were used to investigate the role of Shari'ah Advisory Board. Results suggested that information such as Shari'ah Advisory Board/Committee members and qualifications are not properly disclosed. In addition, the element of Islamic auditing or reporting are still vague. These factors are significantly important as it shows the importance role of good governance in ensuring the faith of investors is not being compromised and the Islamic REITs is Shari'ah compliant. It can be concluded that more works need to be put in producing a good Islamic governance framework for Islamic REITs.
