| Summary: | The aim of this paper is to critically examine the applicability of the
concept of ‘True and Fair View’ (TFV) from an Islamic perspective. It then
explores the position and roles of TFV in the Islamic accounting context. The
sources of data consist of the shari’ah fundamentals from the Islamic legal
sources, in addition to relevant accounting standards and regulations. The paper
found that the TFV concept is not contrary to Islamic shari’ah and that TFV
plays certain roles in Islamic accounting. Thus, the paper suggests that the
Islamic standard setters retain the term as it is not against Islamic shari’ah and
it will help avoid confusion among users of financial statements. With this, the
TFV concept should continue to be used in Islamic accounting until a more
appropriate phrase is coined. The paper can be considered among the first
papers that analyse the TFV concept from an Islamic perspective. |
