The Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) is an international Islamic financial standard-setting body that provides guidelines and standards for Islamic finance.

The AAOIFI provides guidance on accounting, auditing, and financial reporting for Islamic financial institutions. The AAOIFI has developed Shariah standards and accounting standards specifically for Islamic finance that are based on the principles of Islamic finance, including the principle of risk-sharing. The AAOIFI standards are considered to be a benchmark for the development of Islamic finance globally.

The AAOIFI accounting standards cover areas such as the treatment of profit and loss sharing contracts, murabahah transactions, ijara transactions, and others. These standards ensure that the financial statements of Islamic financial institutions accurately reflect the underlying transactions and provide a fair and transparent picture of the financial position and performance of the institution.

The AAOIFI also provides guidance on auditing and financial reporting, including the standards for the preparation of financial statements, the responsibilities of auditors, and the principles for conducting an audit of Islamic financial institutions.

In addition, the AAOIFI has established a code of ethics for auditors of Islamic financial institutions, which provides guidance on the ethical considerations that auditors should take into account when conducting their work.
