2. Central Sharia Authorities These authorities oversee the overall implementation of Sharia principles in the Islamic finance industry.
3. Regulatory Bodies Regulatory bodies such as the Islamic Financial Services Board (IFSB) and the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) set standards and guidelines for Islamic financial institutions.
4. Legal Frameworks Legal frameworks in Islamic countries provide the necessary legal infrastructure for Islamic finance and banking operations.

By understanding and adhering to these regulatory frameworks, professionals in the field of Islamic finance and banking can ensure compliance with Sharia law and ethical standards, ultimately contributing to the growth and stability of the industry.
