17 March 2008
The Fifth PRC Securities Regulations Examination to be held in Hong Kong in May 2008
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, third and fourth examinations were held
in Hong Kong to provide further flexibility for our
professionals. In
2008, the fifth examination will be held in Hong
Kong on Saturday, 17 May 2008.
Enrolment for Examination and Training Courses
Enrolments will be coordinated by the HKSI and will
commence from
17 March 2008 until 28 April 2008.
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 examination preparatory
courses on
5, 6
and 13 April 2008 (1st class) and 3, 4 and 10 May
2008 (2nd class). 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
17 March 2008 until 30 April 2008.
