27 February 2006
Third PRC Securities Regulations Examination to be held in Hong Kong in
May 2006
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
examination was held in Hong Kong in 2005 to provide
further flexibility for our professionals. In 2006,
the third examination will be held in Hong Kong on
Saturday, 13 May.
Enrolment for Examination and Training Courses
Enrolments for the examination will be coordinated
by the HKSI and will commence from 27 February until
24 April 2006 (both dates inclusive). 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 29-30 April 2006. 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 27 February until 24
April 2006 (both dates inclusive).
An information session (in Cantonese) concerning
both the examination and the preparatory course will
be arranged on 15 March 2006. Please call our
hotline at 3120 6171 or visit our website at
www.hksi.org for enquiries or reservations.
