3.1 Analysis of Accounting System of Exim Bank Ltd.:
GAAP is a combination of authoritative standards (set by policy boards) and the commonly
accepted ways of recording and reporting accounting information. The primary purpose of
GAAP is to help accountants provide relevant and comparable information. In other words,
financial accounting practices should produce information that is relevant to the decision made
by financial statement users. GAAP identify uniform practices that make financial statements
more understandable and useful. Go through any annual report of a company and evaluate how
the companies are applying these GAAP principles (example:- Cost, Double Entry, Stable
Monetary, Cash or Accrual, Accounting Period, Conservatism, Business Entity Concept etc.) in
preparing their financial statement.
Accounting Standards for financial reporting by EXIM Bank Limited has to be developed
because in some cases Islamic financial institutions encounter accounting problems due to
existing accounting standards such as local GAAP being developed based on conventional
institutions, conventional product structures or practices, and may be perceived to be insufficient
to account for and report Islamic financial transactions.
Sharia'a compliant transactions that observe the prohibition on charging interest may not have
parallels in conventional financing and therefore, there may be significant accounting
implications. Likewise, the Islamic finance industry is under considerable pressure to enhance
practice and improve risk management systems and protect investors.
