Abstract: The purpose of this study is to determine the combination of audit opinions and Sharia compliance in increasing donor trust in the National Zakat Agency (BAZNAS) in Makassar, Indonesia. The type of research used is qualitative research with a phenomenological approach method. Informants include BAZNAS, donors, sharia financial practitioners and religious figures. This research is located at the BAZNAS office and Makassar City area, Indonesia. The results found that the combination of audit opinion and sharia compliance is a complementary examination instrument. Sharia compliance audits complement what is missed and not detected by conventional financial audits, resulting in a more comprehensive report picture of BAZNAS Makassar’s financial performance.

Zakat institutions that seek to build and maintain the trust of the community and stakeholders are likely to receive greater social support and funds in Zakat fundraising. Trust is a major factor in increasing zakat receipts at BAZNAS Makassar. A positive audit opinion and sharia compliance predicate are a combination of instruments that contribute to increasing BAZNAS Makassar’s zakat receipts.
