Papers presented during falling within the coverage of the book may be invited to be included in the book. It is the intention of the organisers to consider publishing this book in 2024 by Routledge: details to be revealed later, after a contract is agreed with a draft book.

What the organisers want to achieve is to pursue knowledge creation in accordance with the paradigm of Islam consistent with human ethics to promote “responsible financial practices”, which extols ethical dealings in financial transactions for the society’s well-being. The Conference aims to enhance awareness on environment and social responsibilities to be the core responsibility of economics and financial practices.

strong style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Registration Fee:

• (The conference participation fee of US$150.00-250.00 was charged in previous live conferences.) Now the fee is reduced to US$50.00 per paper presentation for the 12-th FIFC because of financial constraints at most universities. The lower fee is due to reduced expenses of hosting a web-based conference using the Internet platform. Important: Those attending the 12-th meeting will have the US$50.00 as your ordinary membership fee of the academic society launched on 8 October 2022 in Istanbul. The Society is associated with the FIFC network of scholars so henceforth, the academic Society will take over financial responsibility of organising conferences. [As resolved at the Inaugural Meeting of the Society in 2021, the Society’s Management Committee agreed to accept savings accrued over the past 13 years in the FIFC’s account at INCEIF as a grant perpetual to the Society by Prof Mohamed Ariff and Prof Shamsher Mohamed. The FIFC, as a recognised brand name promoted across the world with resources spent by a network of eminent scholars, will continue to organise future conferences.]
• strong style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Anyone wishing to participate on the online meeting is considered eligible to present their paper at the live meeting in Istanbul at their cost. The registration fee remains the same. The travel and accommodation cost is to be borne by the paper presenters. The two Turkish universities may offer residential units/halls, cost borne by attendees. There are excellent hotels available as well.
