The study undertakes a critical review of the literature on governance practices within waqf organisations and examines how SIM could potentially enhance governance and accountability. Additionally, semi-structured interviews are conducted with four waqf institutions in Malaysia to gain insights into their SIM practices. The findings of the study show a positive correlation between effective SIM practice, good governance, and accountability. The interviews reveal the understanding of SIM, its implementation and challenges faced among waqf administrators in Malaysia.
