LOMA
 
LOMA has recognised the CIIA® designation for Professional Achievement Credits (PACs) in its Fellow, Financial Services Institute (FFSI) Program.

Recognition by the Local Regulatory Body
 
The CIIA is recognized by the Hong Kong regulator, Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), as one of the internationally recognized professional qualifications in finance which can compensate the "recognized industry qualifications" of the SFC's competence requirements for an individual applying to be a responsible officer and/or a representative.

Details refer to the "Guidelines on Competence" and its update available at SFC website.  

Recognition of the CIIA  Designation in the UK
 
In July 2007, the Financial Services Skills Council (FSSC) in the United Kingdom recognized the CIIA designation as a Key 2 qualification. The ACIIA now has the awarding body status, and the CIIA qualification has been included on the appropriate examinations list for seven relevant activities that are regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) in the UK (www.fsa.gov.uk).

Candidates with the CIIA designation will need to take a UK specific examination such as those offered by the Securities and Investments Institute and the United Kingdom Society of Investment Professionals (UKSIP) in order to meet the full examination requirements for the aforementioned activities. Details of these examinations can be found on the FSSC website.
