SC Licensing Examinations

THE SC LICENSING
EXAMINATIONS

SIDC serves as a one-stop examination centre for those seeking to be licensed by SC, those seeking to hold a position as head of operations, Head of Compliance or Compliance Officer and those who intend to be employees of registered persons who carry out the regulated activities specified in the Part 1 of Schedule 4 of the Capital Markets & Services Act 2007 (permitted capital market activities).

The SC Licensing Examinations are designed to set a minimum standard of competency required of individuals who wish to act as intermediaries in the Malaysian capital market.

There are three levels of cognitive skills being tested, namely knowledge, comprehension, and application and analysis. The knowledge level requires studying, absorbing and recalling the memorised information. The level of comprehension requires an ability to grasp and understand the meaning of the principles or concepts for each subject. And finally, the application and analysis level which is the highest level of cognitive skills for licensing examinations, tests the candidate’s ability to relate and apply the acquired information in market practices.

Currently, there are 13 modules of examinations being offered.

Examination-related reference materials can be purchased from the SIDC e-SHOP.

NOTICE

Candidates sitting for the licensing examinations are reminded that all Examination Study Guides published are correct at the time of print. Candidates are advised, however, to keep themselves updated as the licensing examinations will reflect the latest information.

In reference to changes on rules and regulations:

Changes and amendments to the business rules and listing requirements can be obtained from the Bursa Malaysia website.

Module 7 is designed to convey the essentials of financial statement analysis, fixed income and equity securities and markets in the context of investment analysis at undergraduate level. For purposes of entry-level licensing examinations, the target audience for this study guide is invariably wide. It is hoped that certain introductory areas would familliarise the newcomer to the accounting, financial mathematics and investment analysis scene, providing the basics for a sound foundation in these areas of study.

On the other hand, areas concerning, for example, important issues in the theory and concepts, limitations of methods used, problems of comparability and how they arise, are available to point out the necessity for adjustments to be made before intra-company and inter-company comparisons. The latter are considered as ‘refreshers’ for those initiated in one or another of the areas of study in the guide.

This examination is designed to test the candidate’s knowledge and understanding of the Malaysian capital market. It is one of the examinations to be passed by individuals who:

1

intend to apply for a Capital Market Services Representative’s Licence (CMSRL) to carry on the regulated activity of dealing in securities;

2

intend to hold the following positions in  a firm which is a holder of a Capital Markets Services Licence (CMSL), for carrying on the business of dealing in securities:
— Head of Operations
— Head of Compliance
— Compliance Officer;

 

3

intend to be employees of registered persons who carry out the capital markets activities as stipulated in Item 1 of Part 1 of Schedule 4 of the Capital Markets and Services Act 2007.

Candidates are advised to refer to the Licensing Handbook for the detailed combination of examinations required for each regulated activity.
