INDUSTRY.co.id - Surabaya - Indonesia again hosted a World Zakat Forum (WZF) meeting, which was attended by domestic and foreign zakat managers on Saturday (11/11/2017) in Surabaya.

A total of 28 delegations of zakat management organizations from five countries, namely Indonesia, Brunei Darussalam, Uganda, Bangladesh and Nigeria gathered to discuss a number of important issues in international zakat management.

Secretary General of WZF, Prof. Dr. Bambang Sudibyo, MBA; CA said, one of the discussion materials is a technical document Good Amil Governance as a step to realize Zakat Core Principle.

This document will become a standard for international zakat management and a reference for all zakat management organizations.

"Zakat management around the world soon has a standard standard, because Good Amil Governance is ready to be launched in 2018," he said.

Good Amil Governance will make the management of zakat become more professional, so its benefit for mustahik is getting bigger.
