Abstract:
Since the country's first Islamic bank launched its full-fledged commercial banking operation in
March 2002, Pakistan has witnessed an increase in customer demand for Islamic banking services.
Although the demand for highly qualified and professional labour in the Islamic banking sector is
widely known, the fundamental problem is actually a mismatch in the talent pool between what
the banks need and what the market has to give. Therefore, this study promotes the creation of a
competency framework for shariah auditors in Pakistan. Prior study demonstrates that despite the
need, the competency standards forshariah auditors have not yet been defined. According to recent
survey, the majority of shariah auditors have either had shariah or auditing training. In order to
provide an appropriate supply of qualified shariah auditors to meet the growing market demand, it
is necessary to create the competency standards that would contain the knowledge, skills, and other
characteristics requirements. In order to develop improvements that are both cost-effective and
compliant with Shariah rules, legislation, and all other standards agreed to be the broad framework
on which IFIs operate globally, the study also uses a PERT chart to examine Islamic banking.
