Contracts and Deals in Islamic Finance / Wiley Finance Editions (ePub)

A very accessible and concise guide to Islamic finance

Contracts and Deals in Islamic Finance provides a clear
breakdown of Islamic financial contracts and deal structures for
beginners. The embedded requirements within selected Islamic
financial contracts, such as risk weightage, capital structures,
creations of cash flows, and balance sheets, are explained fully to
provide a solid understanding of the backbone of the industry.
Aimed primarily at beginners and those with a background in
conventional banking, this book guides readers through the major
contracts, how they're applied, and how to discern a contract's
legitimacy. Case studies and interviews with bankers and global
regulators provide real-life examples of contract application, and
the author's own experiences provide deep insight into the everyday
issues that arise. Ancillary instructor's materials include
PowerPoint slides and lecture notes that facilitate use in the
classroom.
