Yusuf M. Sidani – författare

Responsible Management in Theory and Practice in Muslim Societies delineates principles of responsible management from an Islamic perspective, exploring the concept of responsibility in Islamic religious texts, and how the understanding of responsibility evolved in Islamic jurisprudence. He explains aspects of individual and group responsibility in Islam and the dissonance between theoretical discourse and practical application. Yusuf M. Sidani focuses on the factors that have both facilitated and hampered the application of responsible management principles in practice in this unique context.

Themes explored across the book include Islamic texts and responsible leadership, responsibility in Islamic jurisprudence, individual and group responsibilities, and bridging the gap divide between theory and practice in Muslim societies.

Sidani also poses proactive questions, including ‘Who is a responsible manager?’ and ‘what does it take to reaffirm both individual and collective responsibilities'', and ''whether things can be put back on track again in Muslim societies, and how?''

The auditing profession stands at a crossroads. The gap between auditors'' responsibilities as defined by professional standards and stakeholder expectations has never been wider. This disconnect has fuelled scepticism, eroded public trust, and intensified debates over the role of auditors in detecting fraud, preventing corporate failures, and providing assurance on non-financial disclosures. Auditing Reimagined: Navigating Stakeholder Expectations critically examines the root causes of this growing divide. From the perception of auditors as a self-interested profession, to the expansion of non-audit consultancy services and failures in communication, the authors explore the structural and systemic factors contributing to stakeholder dissatisfaction. It also considers how technological advancements, evolving regulatory landscapes, and increasing demands for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) assurance are reshaping the profession.

Through a rigorous analysis of these challenges and opportunities, Auditing Reimagined offers a compelling vision for the future of auditing—one that is more responsive, transparent, and aligned with the expectations of an evolving business environment. Educational institutions and professional bodies will find this work most useful as they reimagine audit training, equipping future auditors not only with technical expertise but also with the critical thinking skills necessary to navigate complex stakeholder demands.
