The Fatwa & Sharia Supervision Board ranks above the Board of Directors and is empowered to issue Fatwas on any matter proposed before it by the different business units of the Bank. This framework has made DIBPL an organization that practices Islamic finance in true letter and spirit. Important Duties of the Sharia Board

Strengths:
It is the one of first Islamic bank and leading Islamic bank. According to SBP its a most rapidly growing banking sector. Dib has strong financial stability and strong capitalization. It is a most enthusiastic and qualified staff. Strong operational environment. Well-built shareholding Its website satisfies the need of their customer.
Weaknesess:
DIB deduct high charges for most of their services as compared to other banks. lack of advertisement of their services is one of the weakness. Exposure to real estate. As they follow centralized system so system become time consuming.
Opportunities:
Growing Islamic finance market. As we know that the Islamic banking is growing very strongly so they must grow their operations. They must explore new area in everywhere in the world and also within the boundaries of the country so they will expand the business. They must increase their setup of branches in all over Pakistan.
Challenges:
Dubai Islamic bank is facing a strong competition by its major Islamic bank competitors; Meezan Bank and Burj bank. Business of these banks is also growing with very high pace. So in order to achieve the sustainable growth in a market, DIB has to remain vigilant. DIB should enhance its Branch Network, in order to capture the market of different areas. Another challenge aced by DIB is low deposits. While offering a wide range of services provides opportunities, there is also the threat that customers may prefer to go to suppliers who present a more specialised approach. In case of Islamic banking SBP does not declared any policies that are enforceable bylaw.
All the governmental policies is especially for conventional banks not for the Islamic banks.

Job responsibility:
Develop the scope for operational, information technologies, financial and security audit projects and select/develop appropriate audit steps necessary to promote effective audit coverage for the managers approval Conduct management, information technologies, financial and security audit projects according to the yearly audit plans in all areas of the Corporation. The primary objective of the Audit and Inspection Group(AIG) is to review the effectiveness of internal controls and risk management practices to minimize business risk. The Audit and Inspections group is expected to performs wide range of audits, which include the following: Financial Audit: To assess the reliability of the accounting system and information and of resulting financial reports. This also includes appraisal of the related systems of internal controls. Compliance Audit: To assess compliance with the laws, regulations, policies and procedures. Management Audit: To assess the quality of managements approach to risk and control in accordance with the Banks objectives. Basically, it concentrates on control problems of high-level management, e.g. evaluation of the organizational structure and financial discipline, long-range plans and objectives, budgeting, profit planning, human and physical facilities etc. Information System Audit: To assess the controls over Information Technology systems and their application. This covers the analysis of computer based information systems (including the aspects of Change Management, Disaster Recovery Planning, Integrity of information produced etc.),which is an essential part in the evaluation of the overall system of accounting and internal controls and assessing reliability of the processed data.
After these steps have been completed, the detailed audit program should be prepared, allocating the project budget time for fieldwork to the specific areas to be covered in the audit.
AUDIT PROGRAM
The audit program should be prepared after the completion of the preliminary survey. The audit program is a detailed plan for the work to be performed during the audit. A well-constructed program is essential to completing the audit project in an efficient manner. A well-constructed program provides: A systematic plan for each phase of the work that can be communicated to all audit personnel concerned.
A means of self control for the audit staff assigned. A means by which the audit supervisor/manager can review and compare performance with approved plans. Assistance in training inexperienced staff members and acquainting them with the scope, objectives, and work steps of an audit. The basis for a summary record of work actually performed. An aid to supervisor/manager making possible a reduction in the amount of direct supervisory effort needed. Assistance in familiarizing successive audit staff with the nature of work previously carried out.
The program consists of specific directions for carrying out the assignment. It should contain a statement of the objectives of the operation being reviewed. For each segment of the audit the program should (1) list the risks that must be covered in that segment; (2) show for each risk the controls that exist or that are needed to protect against the indicated risk; (3) show for each of the listed controls the work steps required to test the effectiveness of those controls, or set forth the recommendations that will be required to install needed controls; and (4) provide space for initials of auditor completing the audit step, reference to the related audit work papers, and brief comments. The audit assignment, usually prepared by the Audit Manager, initiates the start of Internal Audit activity. It is to be completed before any work is done on the audit. The audit Manager assigns the audit name and number, provides direction as to what the audit objectives are and any special concerns or considerations, determines the audit period, and assigns audit personnel and time budget. (as per the audit assignment form.) The estimated time budget is initially obtained from the annual audit plan. Any proposed changes to the budgeted hours based upon preliminary work such as review of prior work papers, discussions with the audit customer, etc., are requested .(through the use of the Budget Revision Form

Recommendations:
After analyzing all the information related to Internal Control System of Dubai islamic Bank I have come up with the following recommendations that Dubai islamic Bank can adopt to further improve their performance
The establishment of internal control systems within banks and financial institutions is an essential condition for insuring the efficient functioning of the financial system.
The Board of the bank shall approve and revise on a periodical basis, once per year at least, appropriate internal control systems, on which depends the functioning of the institution in compliance with the legislation in force, including reporting requirements of the State Bank of Pakistan, as well as internal normative acts. The Board of the bank shall approve internal regulations within all fields of activity of the bank. The Board consider whether aspects of the monitoring process are to be carried out by a sub-committee on behalf of the Board. If so, consideration must begiven to the charter and capabilities of such committees. The Board should ensure that internal audit is in a position to provide the board with much of the assurance it requires regarding the effectiveness of the system of internal control. It should not only assess the parts, but also the corporate glue holding the parts together. All directors should ensure that they are satisfied that the Boards
statement oninternal control provides meaningful high-level information that enables shareholders to evaluate how the principles of good governance have been applied.
