About the Lecture:
Since Murat Hasan Ünal (Funds@Work AG) published his first report about Shariah scholars´ involvement in financial services institutions across the world (March 2009), creating substantial transparency, there has been a lot of discussion about Shari’ah Scholars, their board memberships and proper Shari’ah governance
He will highlight the latest results of Funds@Work´s network analysis in the Islamic Finance Services Industry covering almost 1400 board positions, over 320 scholars, and 400 organisations which are engaged in this sector.
