Critical Acclaim
‘This is the first ever compilation of leading articles in the field of Islamic accounting from the path defining contribution of Abdel-Majd in 1981 to the most important articles by Rifaat Ahmed Abdel Karim, founder of AAOIFI and former Secretary General of the IFSB. The collection is an essential purchase for all university libraries with Islamic finance collections as well as business schools where financial reporting is considered from different cultural perspectives. The editors are to be congratulated on their efforts.’
