Islamic banking and finance has been widely practiced all over the world, including non-Mulsim countries. Its tremendous and rapid growth calls for the need of proper recording and reporting of Islamic bank transactions to ensure that Islamic banks are able to discharge their accountability towards the shareholders and other stakeholders such as restricted and unrestricted deposit holders, regulators, general public while fulfilling the need of Shari’ah compliant banking operation.

Accounting treatment for the Islamic banking products and financial reporting for Islamic banks are discussed.

It also provides the foundation for financial accounting and reporting of Islamic banks. It isa useful reference if not a tool, for the accountants, lecturers, trainers, students and researchers.
