Bases for Preparing Closing Financial Data of Islamic Banks
The Central Bank of Kuwait issues binding instructions to all Islamic banks, requiring them to prepare closing financial data in compliance with International Accounting Standards. These regulations mandate a standardized disclosure framework for transactions involving board members and executive management, specifically detailing liabilities, deposits, finance facilities, and existing collaterals. Banks must formally report these related-party balances to the shareholders’ General Assembly through their annual closing accounts, ensuring transparent and consistent financial reporting effective from January 1991.
