Hi..
I have some topics I'd like to focus on but still debating which to focus on and whether they have a lot of background to evaluate. The following topics:
-Accounting ethics and sustainability influences.
-Sharia/Islamic accounting in Western countries compared to the middle East.
-"Green accounting" a market strategy or a code of conduct.
I love the whole topic of ethics and sustainability.
Thank you all.
Relevant answer
Answer
At MSc level I would expect a thesis that has a hypothesis that is either confirmed or rejected by your research. What are your thoughts about the relationships between the three elements of sustainability/ethics and accounting practices?
I come from a marketing background so anything that the organization does to improve their image would work for me.
Perhaps you could test whether
a) companies that apply triple bottom line accounting have a higher degree of ethical behavior than those who do not… and
b) in turn this is reflected in their growth and target markets’ ratings of the organizations.
If you don't have the time you could just focus on a) or b) but it would add to the body of knowledge if you could show ethical behavior is rewarded in the market place. To make it simpler/easier to handle I would concentrate on a single industry for your thesis.

The Islamic accounting standards reflect the fact of leasing in financial leasing operations, the product appear as assets in FS of Islamic Bank. The bank bears full ownership risks during the lease period
In traditional banks, accounting reflects the fact of the transaction as a debt rather than a lease, the asset appears in the client's assets rather than the bank. The rent is considered a debt on the customer since the first day of the contract.
This is my opinion, what do you think?
Relevant answer
Answer
Yes it does.

The Shariah-compliant credit cards are becoming increasingly common in many countries. 
"According to Brian Riley, a research director at TowerGroup, a financial services research firm based in Needham, Mass., Muslims constitute almost 24 percent of the world's population, and he estimates that total assets in Shariah-compliant banks will hit $1 trillion by 2011" (Read more: http://www.creditcards.com/credit-card-news/shariah-compliant-credit-cards-1273.php#ixzz43hAlz28i)
many Islamic banks are now involved in these Islamic credit cards in GCC Region, UK, USA, and more importantly in Malaysia (see Noor, A.M. and Azli, R.M., 2009. A review of SharENah compliant instruments for Islamic credit cards as adopted by Malaysian Financial Institutions. International Journal of Monetary Economics and Finance, 2(3-4), pp.221-238). instead of charging an interest "Riba", the customer is charged a subscription fee periodically
These efforts are apparently an attempt to utilize the huge Islamic compliant-assets worldwide. however, many people are still skeptics about the substance of these credit cards and the extent of its significance.
to what extent do you think that these Islamic instruments can contribute in the inclusion of Muslims in the financial system? and is it really Shariah-compliant? 
Relevant answer
Answer
Different products are used while structuring Islamic credit cards. 
You may read the attached Shariah Resolutions of SAC of the Central Bank of Malaysia: http://www.bnm.gov.my/microsites/financial/pdf/resolutions/shariah_resolutions_2nd_edition_EN.pdf
See specifically, page 148 onwards.  There is ample justification for the products used in Islamic credit cards in Islamic finance from the Shariah perspective.

Relevant answer

It is not a failure, just see one attached paper are proved 
the paper examined twenty-eight Islamic banks of fifteen Muslim majority countries to determine whether or to what extent the promises (Islamic principles) are delivered. The overwhelming percentage of total assets is allocated for debt-type financing which the critiques of Islamic bank doubt about its Islamic validity.

Dear Shairazi, before we look at the popularity of the product, we have to look at the components of the community in those two countries. Are they the same. About 1 million of of the population in Malaysia work as gorvernment servants. And they are provided with home and vehicle and computer financing. So this could lead to the low demand of profit and loss sharing financing.

What is the difference between Islamic sukuk and bonds?
What is difference between Islamic sukuk, common stock, and Preferred shares ?
Relevant answer
Answer
The substance of finance or financial system is to find reasonable solutions for existing practical problems. Both of these financial vehicles, conventional bonds and Sukuk, attempt to mobilize the funds from surplus spending units to shortage spending units. There are fundamental risk/return differences between the two.In the conventional bond the underlying asset is money (debt) and in the Sukuk the
underlying asset is indeed an asset.The two solutions are clearly not identical; the fundamental difference in their structure has great religious difference but virtually no financial differences. The conventional bonds are based on debt instrument while the Sukuk financing is based on equity method.

Which factor could be the greatest barrier towards the development/promotion/effectiveness of islamic microfinance models?
(e.g. Cash disbursement? Group bonding? Adequate supervision? What else??)
Relevant answer
Answer
In addition to microfinance support provided by financiers, entrepreneurs must be linked to the full supply-chain players. Islamic microfinance can provide that link. In our recent research on Islamic microfinance at my institute, we linked entrepreneurs who are doing a tailoring business with microcredit financiers (including a waqaf organisation) and a large hypermarket operator. Whilst the financiers facilitated the business owners with capital, the hypermarket supplied raw materials at discounted price and purchased the finished product (sewn dresses) from the entrepreneurs. To ensure sustainability, entrepreneurs work in group and managed to specialise. Our research saw success when recently the hypermarket launched the product from the microfinance business. As researchers, we document this whole process and developed the business model. We also write case study on the business and provide training on financial management
