The Fourth PRC Securities Regulations Examination to be held in Hong Kong in May 2007
With the implementation of the Closer Economic Partnership
Arrangement (CEPA), Hong Kong professionals in the securities
industry are offered a fast track to obtain the required
industry qualification to practise in the Mainland financial
markets.
The PRC Securities Regulations Examination
In light of the above agreement, the Securities Association
of China (SAC) has specially developed the PRC Securities
Regulations Examination (the examination) for Hong Kong
professionals. Hong Kong professionals (defined as Hong
Kong permanent residents holding or having held within
the past three years a relevant licence issued by Hong
Kong¡¦s Securities and Futures Commission) can now complete
a specified examination on the laws and regulations
of the Mainland, in order to be eligible to apply for
the corresponding industry qualification from the SAC,
subject to any other requirements of the Mainland. This
group of professionals will be exempted from taking
any technical examinations. Upon satisfying all other
requirements of the Mainland, they will also be able
to apply for the corresponding practising qualification
in the Mainland.
The
Hong Kong Securities Institute (HKSI) has been appointed
by the SAC as the sole agent for handling the enrolment
of Hong Kong professionals for the examination. The
first examination was held in Shenzhen in 2004. With
the favourable response from Hong Kong professionals,
the second and third examinations were held in Hong
Kong to provide further flexibility for our professionals.
In 2007, the fourth examination will be held in Hong
Kong on Saturday, 12 May 2007.
Enrolment for Examination and Training Courses
Enrolments will be coordinated by the HKSI and will
commence from 12 March 2007 until 23 April 2007. The
relevant enrolment forms and details about the examination
are available from the HKSI¡¦s office and website (www.hksi.org).
The HKSI will organise an examination preparatory
course on 21 - 22 April 2007. It will be conducted in
Putonghua at the training centre of HKSI in the Wing
On Centre, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong. The course will cover
the examination syllabus and principles, and aims to
help participants to be properly equipped with the required
knowledge on the securities related laws and regulations
of the Mainland and assist their preparation for the
examination. The course may also be attended by any
interested members of the public and other Hong Kong
practitioners. Experienced professionals from the Mainland
will be invited to conduct the course. Course enrolments
will be accepted by the Institute from 12 March 2007
until 16 April 2007.
