CIIA Final Examination
CIIA ® is an internationally recognized advanced professional qualification for individuals working in the finance and investment industry. The CIIA is currently recognised and supported by the world’s leading Federations, European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies (EFFAS), Asian Securities and Investments Federation Incorporated (ASIF) and over 30 national/regional societies for finance and investment professionals.
CIS became a member society in January 2009. Increasing globalization of investment markets means the world’s key financial institutions are integrating their operations across the major financial centres of the world.
The attainment of CIIA ® provides you with the recognition of a superior standard of applied common knowledge that is essential for working in domestic and international investment markets. CIIA is the passport you need as employers recognise the advantage of hiring mobile professionals with qualifications that will enable them to work in any international financial centre.
