Meezan Bank, Pakistan’s leading Islamic financial institution, has partnered with The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan (ICAP) to establish a dedicated Centre for Islamic Finance. The two organizations recently signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to formalize their collaboration, marking a significant step toward strengthening the Islamic banking and finance industry in Pakistan.

This initiative is designed to enhance professional capacity within the sector by providing specialized education, training, and certification programs. With Islamic finance gaining increasing prominence globally and in Pakistan, the demand for well-trained professionals in this domain has surged. Recognizing this need, Meezan Bank and ICAP have joined forces to create a platform that caters to auditors, accountants, regulators, and finance professionals aspiring to develop expertise in Sharia-compliant financial practices.

ICAP, established under the Chartered Accountants Ordinance of 1961, is a leading regulatory body dedicated to the professional development of accountants and finance experts in Pakistan. With its long-standing commitment to setting high standards in financial education, ICAP’s role in this collaboration will be crucial in structuring robust training programs that align with global best practices in Islamic finance. The Centre for Islamic Finance will particularly focus on equipping auditors with specialized knowledge in regulatory compliance, ethical auditing, and risk assessment within the Sharia-compliant banking framework.

Meezan Bank, which has consistently been recognized as the Best Islamic Bank by both local and international bodies, has played a pioneering role in promoting Islamic finance in Pakistan. The bank’s deep-rooted expertise in the sector makes it an ideal partner for this initiative. Through this collaboration, Meezan Bank aims to contribute to the development of a highly skilled workforce capable of driving innovation and ensuring compliance in the Islamic banking industry.

The Centre for Islamic Finance will offer a range of educational programs, professional training, and certification courses tailored to meet the evolving needs of the industry. By leveraging the combined strengths of Meezan Bank and ICAP, this initiative will help bridge the knowledge gap in Islamic finance and support the industry’s continued growth. The focus will be on practical training and real-world applications, ensuring that participants gain hands-on expertise in managing Sharia-compliant financial operations.

Both organizations have agreed to define the structural and operational framework of the Centre, ensuring it effectively addresses the industry’s requirements. The collaboration reflects a shared commitment to promoting excellence in Islamic finance, fostering innovation, and developing a new generation of professionals equipped to navigate the complexities of the sector.

As Pakistan’s Islamic banking industry continues to expand, initiatives like the Centre for Islamic Finance will play a critical role in shaping its future. By investing in education and professional development, Meezan Bank and ICAP are paving the way for a more knowledgeable, ethical, and efficient Islamic finance ecosystem in the country.
