ABSTRACT
Islamic banks will always be faced with various types of risks with varying complexity and embedded
in various business activities. This underlies the importance of implementing risk management in
Islamic banking by identifying, measuring, and controlling various risks that will be faced. There are
ten types of risks inherent in Islamic banks, credit risk, market risk, operational risk, liquidity risk,
compliance risk, legal risk, reputation risk, strategic risk, return risk, and investment risk. The
application of risk management in Islamic banks must be adjusted to the objectives, business policies,
size, and complexity of the business as well as the bank's capabilities. Business complexity is the
diversity in the types of business network product/service transactions. Meanwhile, bank capabilities
include financial capacity, supporting infrastructure, and human resource capabilities.

1. INTRODUCTION
Bank is a financial institution that functions as an
intermediary between the surplus and deficit
parties. In carrying out this function, of course,
banks are faced with various risks in the activities
carried out. Islamic banks as intermediary
institutions that carry out their business activities
with sharia principles and in line with the external
and internal banking environment are
experiencing rapid development, will always be
faced with various types of risks with varying
levels of complexity and inherent in their business
activities.
In the banking context, risk is a potential event,
both predictable and unpredictable and has a
negative impact on bank income and capital.
These various risks cannot be avoided, but can be
managed properly and controlled. Therefore,
Islamic banks as banking institutions in general, of
course really need a series of procedures and
methodologies that can be used in terms of
identifying, measuring, monitoring, and
controlling risks arising from business activities,
or what is commonly referred to as risk
management.
The rapid development in the banking world, both
in the external and internal banking environment,
which is followed by the increasingly complex risk
of banking business activities, thereby increasing
the need for sound bank governance practices
(Good Cooperate Governance) and the application
of risk management which includes active
supervision of bank management, policies,
procedures and determination of risk limits, as
well as the internal control system. The great
benefits of implementing risk management will
have an impact on both banks and bank
supervisory authorities. For banks, the benefits of
implementing risk management are increasing
share holder value, providing an overview to bank
managers regarding the possibility of bank losses
in the future, improving methods and systematic
decision-making processes based on the
availability of information, used as a basis for
more accurate measurements of bank
performance, to assess the risks inherent in
relatively complex instruments or bank business
activities and to create a robust risk management
infrastructure in order to improve bank
competitiveness. (Rivai 2013:28)
Islamic banking which is experiencing rapid
development of the external and internal
environment of Islamic banking has resulted in
the risk of sharia banking business activities being
increasingly complex. Banks are required to be
able to adapt to the environment through the
implementation of risk management in
accordance with Sharia principles. In its
application, the principles of risk management in
Islamic banking in Indonesia are directed in line
with the standard rules issued by the Islamic
Financial Services Board (IFSB). The application of
risk management in the Islamic banking
environment is adjusted to the size and
complexity of the business as well as the Bank's
