3.The management shall provide continuous education and training programs to key internal stakeholders, including the board, the Shariah committee, and the employees related to Shariah and finance matters.

5.The management must ensure that Shariah policies and procedures are accessible to employees involved in the implementation of the Shariah governance framework.
 
6.The management shall ensure that all Islamic banking operations are carried out according to the bank’s Shariah policies and procedures and shall constantly review and update the policies and procedures to reflect market practices and developments.
 
7.If the management becomes aware that certain financial or Islamic banking transactions appear to involve operations that are not Shariah-compliant, the management shall:
 
 a)Immediately inform the board and the committee.
 
 b)Immediately stop providing any banking services or products in that business line related to the Shariah non-compliant operation.
 
Within (30) business days of becoming aware of such non-compliance, submit a plan to rectify the state of non-compliance with the Shariah principles and rules, to be approved by the board and endorsed by the committee.
