The CIIA® is an internationally recognised advanced professional qualification for individuals wishing to work/working in the finance and investment industry. The examinations consist of two levels of Common Knowledge Examinations (i.e. the CIIA® Foundation Examination and the CIIA® Final Examination) and a National/Regional Examination. The Common Knowledge Examinations examine the essential skills and knowledge required for professionals working in investment markets common in all countries. The National/Regional Examination is set by individual national/regional societies and examines knowledge of specific markets. It covers legal and regulatory matters, taxation, local market practices and the cultural environment of the financial market of each specific country. Only the CIIA® Final Examination, which consists of 2 generic examination papers, Exam 1 and Exam 2, is offered in Hong Kong by the HKSI. All eligible candidates enjoy exemptions from the CIIA® Foundation and National Exam
