Abstract

Auditing in an Islamic framework would have wider scope than traditional auditing. In contemporary practice, the auditor is directly liable only to his clients, i.e. owners of the business being audited. He is not guided by religious principles; the quality of the managerial decisions, too, are not his concern. In the light of Islamic teachings and practice in early Islamic society, the auditor should be liable also to financiers, should assess management practices, and report on its compliance with Shari'ah, (e.g. fulfillment of contracts, honesty, avoidance of monopoly and extravagance). Hence, auditors must have good knowledge of Islamic law. An Islamic Audit Foundation is proposed to evolve standards, train personnel and conduct auditing. إن مراجعة الحسابات هي أوسع نطاقًا في اقتصاد إسلامي عما هو معتاد، لأنها تشمل الجوانب الاجتماعية والاقتصادية للمشروع. ففي الممارسات المحاسبية المعاصرة، يعد المراجع مسؤولاً تجاه زبائنه - أي مالكي المشروع - الذي تتم مراجعته دون دائني ذلك المشروع، كما أنه ليس عليه التزامات اجتماعية، ولا يستهدي بأية مبادئ دينية. أضف لذلك أنه لا يُعنى بتمحيص نوعية القرارات الإدارية في المشروع. ويبين هذا البحث أنه في ضوء تعاليم الإسلام والتطبيقات العملية في صدر الإسلام، فإن المراجع مسؤول أيضًا اتجاه ممولي وعليه أيضًا تقويم نوعية التصرفات الإدارية، والإبلاغ عن مدى التقيُّد بالأحكام الشرعية كالوفاء بالعقود، والأمانة، وعدم الاحتكار والإسراف. فلا بد للمراجع إذن من معرفة جيدة بفقه المعاملات. ويقترح البحث إنشاء مؤسسة إسلامية لمراجعة الحسابات تقوم بتطوير المعايير وتدريب الكوادر وممارسة المراجعة. وينبغي تمويلها من تبرعات رجال الأعمال وليس من رسوم تتقاضاها من زبائنها.
