Operational ethical banking in Rastin Banking: (Professional ethics, auditing, inspection, control, monitoring and preservation)
Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to discuss some of the operational Islamic banking features considered in ethical banking as the aspects of Rastin Banking. Ethical banking is a branch of “ethic economics” and a narrow expression of a number of Islamic banking aspects.
Design/methodology/approach
These features are often involved in the discussions under the topic of internal control and describe the operational characteristics of ethical banking within the framework of Rastin Banking.
Findings
This study refers to the principles of Rastin Banking, including operational, financial, economic, ethical, social, legal, international and organizational principles. Additionally, it takes into account some of the internal control systems.
Research limitations/implications
Converting ethical codes into executable laws and regulations needs sophistication, and the art of codification in this subject can be observed in the present paper.
Practical implications
As far as the ethical behaviour of the assessor and trustee is concerned, the necessities of honesty, belief, virtuosity, rectitude and compliance with moral values, as well as reward and punishment mechanisms, are operationally examined. Transparency, governance and disclosure of information are the other components. The methods of auditing, accounting, inspection and preservation of Rastin Banking achievements are amongst the other matters of concern.
Social implications
An assiduous attention to the operational details of each of the above-said discussions revealed that the Islamic banking components are capable of covering the topics and discussions beyond ethical banking.
Originality/value
This paper fulfils an identified need to solve the practical ethical problem in operational banking.
