Abstract

This study examines the impact of Shariah Board (SB) characteristics and BOD structure on the performance of Islamic banks in Malaysia based on three performance measurements: Zakat on Equity (ZOE), Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE). This study covers 15 Islamic banks in Malaysia for a study period from 2010 to 2018 consisting of the pre and post implementation of the Islamic Financial Services Act (IFSA) 2013. General Method of Moments (system-GMM) is employed to determine the impact of SB characteristics and BOD structure on the performance of Islamic banks. This study provides evidence that SB education, SB reputation and SB expertise are positively related to Islamic banks’ performance while SB remuneration, SB cross membership, Board size and Board independence are negatively related. It was also discovered that IFSA (2013) is negatively related to ROE despite the arguments that the Act has strengthened Shariah governance framework in Malaysia.
