This will contribute to a greater alignment between financial reporting and prudential frameworks.
2. All ICBs are expected to prepare their financial statement according to the International Financial Reporting

5. These Guidelines must be read together with other relevant regulations and instructions that have been
   issued by the CBS, in particular the Regulation on Audited Annual Financial Statements 2016, CBS/BS/REG/06, and Guidelines on Sharï'ah Governance Framework 2020 (as revised from time to time).
6. If there is any conflict between these guidelines and the above-mentioned regulation and guidelines, the
   regulation and guidelines mentioned in subsection 5 shall take precedence on the matter. B. Authority

Part Il: Regulatory Requirements
A. General Requirements
15. In accordance with Sections 19(1)(c) of the FIL, an ICB shall ensure that all accounts and financial
records are prepared in accordance with the FRS and with all applicable laws.
16. An ICB should consider both the economic and Sharï'ah effects of Islamic financial transactions which
arise due to the application of specific Sharï'ah contracts to determine the most appropriate accounting treatment. An appropriate accounting policy must be disclosed in the financial statements (see paragraph 29(a)(ii) of these guidelines) in the event an ICB departed from IF-RS requirement due to Sharï'ah prohibition, thus, ensure a fair presentation of financial information.
17. The board of the ICB is responsible for ensuring that the financial statements are drawn up to give a
true and fair view of the situation and of the results of the business of the ICB. The board should satisfy itself that a sound financial reporting structure is in place to ensure the integrity and credibility of the financial statements.
18. An ICB should have documented the policies and procedures for the production of financial reports,
which should inter alia reconciliation process for all data contained in audited financial statements against regulatory returns, where appropriate; and a checklist to ensure that the ICB's capital is calculated in accordance with regulatory requirements. B. Application of FRS
19. Compliance with Sharï'ah requirements is a fundamental requirement to ensure the legitimacy and
permissibility of Islamic financial products and services. In the case of financial reporting, it is important for an ICB to ensure proper due process is undertaken to determine and accord appropriate accounting treatment to a particular Sharï'ah compliant product or transaction to attain faithful representation of financial information.
20. In relation to paragraph 18, an ICB shall establish an internal policies and procedures and well define
processes that is approved by the board to identify and assess the application of relevant accounting standards under the FRS to recognize, classify or measure Islamic financial transactions taking into consideration among others the:

21. An ICB shall apply the methodologies as outlined in the relevant accounting standards under the FRS
to ascertain the applicable accounting treatment for financial assets, liabilities, income or expenses.
22. In line with paragraph 20, an ICB shall assess the profile and characteristic of a financial asset
structured based on:
a. Sale-based contract, such as the Murabaha would fall within the scope of accounting standard for Financial Instruments by assessing the business model for managing financial assets and performing the SPP11 test on the contractual cash flow to ascertain whether the profit or mark-up represents time value of money or compensation for credit risk. b. Lease-based contract that is the Ijarah, would be subject to accounting standard on Leases by ascertaining whether the arrangement involves a transfer of right to control the use of Ijarah asset from the lessor to the lessee for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
c. Construction-based contract that adopts the Istisna', would be subject to the accounting standard
on Revenue from Contracts with customers given that the underlying asset is yet to be constructed or the standard on Construction Contracts where ICB assumes the construction risk of the asset under development. d. Equity-based contract that adopts the Mudarabah or Mushārakah, would be subject to the accounting standard on Joint Arrangement, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, Consolidated Financial Statements, or other standard in the event that the ICB undertake the role of capital provider (Rabbul mal) under the contract. Under such an arrangement, the recognition would depend on the nature of whether the transactions represent an “equity interest" in another entity or an investment with contractual rights to future cash flow. 2
23. Similar assessment should be undertaken to determine the accounting treatment for financial
liabilities that may be structured based on loan contract, sale-based contract, or equity-based contracts, which adopts the Qard, Murabaha or Mudarabah contract respectively.
24. With regards to the disclosure, an ICB should present the carrying amount and income and expenses
related to Sharï'ah compliant deposit and investment account in separate line items in its separate financial statements and consolidated financial statements.

Appendix Il: Islamic Banking Contracts Definitions

1. Islamic financial contracts mainly fall into these categories: sale, lease, construction or equity-based
   contracts. While each category covers a wide variety of instruments, this appendix gives a brief description of the main contracts that are most frequently used by Islamic banks globally. Sale-based contract
2. Murabaha (cost-plus financing) contract refers to an agreement whereby the Islamic bank sells to a
   customer, at acquisition cost plus an agreed profit margin, a specified asset that is already in its possession (such as a manufactured good). The customer has an obligation to settle the selling price or the amount of receivable that arises following delivery of the asset by the bank. The main features of this contract are: (a) the cost and the mark-up must be both known to r bank and the client; (b) the bank must assume the ownership of the goods prior to reselling them to the client (bearing all the ownership risks in the interim); (c) the client's promise (either binding or non-binding) to buy the goods purchased on his order by the bank ; (d) no interest is levied for late payments but the bank could require a collateral; and (e) the Murabaha contract cannot be sold except at par.
3. Salam (purchase with deferred delivery) is a purchase contract with deferred delivery of goods
   (opposite to Murabaha) and is mostly used in agriculture finance. The contract is used to purchase, at a predetermined price, a specified kind of commodity which is to be delivered on a specified future date in a specified quantity and quality (such as an agricultural or a manufactured product). As the buyer, the bank makes full payment of the purchase price upon execution of the Salam contract. To mitigate price risk (as a debt contract it cannot be sold to a third-party except at par), the bank enters, in certain cases, into a "Parallel Salam" to sell a commodity with the same specification as the purchased commodity under a Salam contract to a party other than the original seller. Lease-based contract.
4. Ijarah (lease) contract refers to an agreement whereby the bank leases to a customer an asset (such
   as a ship, aircraft, or telecom equipment) for an agreed period against specified installments of lease rental. The contract commences with an agreement to lease that is binding on the part of the potential lessee and requires the bank to purchase or lease an asset prior to entering into the contract. An Ijarah contract could offer the lessee the option to purchase the asset either at the end of the lease period by means of a gift or a token consideration, or by installments of a specified amount. During the lease period, the bank, as the owner of the asset bears all the risks associated with ownership. The Ijarah contract can be sold at a negotiated market price, effectively resulting in the sale of the leased asset.

2020
Guidelines on Financial Reporting for Islamic Commercial Banks in Somalia 23 Construction-based contract
5. Istisna' is a contract in which a buyer purchases an item for deferred delivery. The item must be
described in detail and construction must fit the specifications. For example, the item delivers it on a specific date in return for a specific price to be paid in one lump sum or instalments. Usually, an istisna contract is made for specially made items. For example, one may make a contract to build a house for a client. Equity-based contract
6. Mushārakah (equity financing) contract is an agreement whereby the 1B and a customer contribute
capital to an enterprise, whether existing or new, or to the ownership of real estate or a moveable asset, either on a permanent basis or on a diminishing basis where the customer progressively buys out the share of the 1B ("diminishing Mushārakah"). Profits generated by the enterprise, or the asset/real estate are shared in accordance with the terms of the Mushārakah agreement, while losses are shared in proportion to the respective contribution to capital.
7. A Mudarabah (participation or trust financing) is a contract that refers to an agreement whereby the
bank contributes capital to an enterprise or activity which is to be managed by the customer. Profits generated by that activity are shared in accordance with the terms of the Mudarabah agreement, while losses are to be borne solely by the bank unless they are due to the customer’s misconduct, negligence, or breach of the contract terms. Mudarabah could be restricted to a specific transaction, or unrestricted.
8. Profit Sharing Investment Account (PSIA) is a contract by which an investor/depositor opens an
investment fund with an Islamic bank on the basis of Mudarabah. The bank could have restricted (restricted investment account), or full discretionary power in making investment decisions (unrestricted investment account). Both parties agree on a ratio of profit sharing, which must be disclosed and agreed upon at the time of opening the account. Profits generated by the 1B are shared with the PSIA holder in accordance with the terms of the Mudarabah agreement while losses are borne solely by the PSIA holder, unless they are due to 1B's misconduct, negligence, or breach of the contract terms.
