Islamic banking institutions in Bichi LGA play a vital role in providing financial services that comply with these principles. However, due to the complexity of Shariah-compliant financial transactions and the need for accurate accounting practices, these institutions face unique challenges in maintaining sound accounting systems. This study seeks to evaluate the accounting practices employed by Islamic banking institutions in Bichi LGA and how these practices ensure compliance with Islamic finance principles while maintaining financial stability.
