ACIIA
principles of ethics - Public consultation completed
|
| |
Throughout April, the ACIIA held a public
consultation period to obtain comments
on its recently developed ACIIA Principles
of Ethical Conduct. The principles aim
to form a supra-national policy vis-à-vis
the individual ACIIA member societies,
and to stimulate the further development
of national standards towards ACIIA best
practice.
The
comments obtained will now be processed
by the ethics working group, chaired by
Giampolo Trasi, prior to presenting the
final draft of the Principles of Ethical
Conduct to the ACIIA AGM on 30th June
2005.

ACIIA
Chairman Kiyoto Hagiwara (second left)
and ACIIA Treasurer Toshihiko Ishida (far
right) meet with representatives of the
Securities Commission, Malaysia.
The
Chairman of ACIIA®, Kiyoto Hagiwara, and
delegates from The Security Analysts Association
of Japan (SAAJ) visited Malaysia and Thailand
to promote CIIA® programs on 30 March
and 1 April respectively. They had fruitful
meetings with the authorities and key
industry partners.
In
Malaysia, the Securities Commission, the
governmental authority for the securities
industry, and the Licensing Department
of the Securities Industry Development
Centre, a one-stop examination body for
the securities industry under the Commission
were attracted by the ACIIA and CIIA program.
Dr. Syed, chairman of the Malaysian Analysts
Association, RIIAM, also expressed his
intention to promote the CIIA® and was
confident in getting support from the
authorities.

In
Thailand, Mr. Robert Bunker, ASAF Deputy
Chairman, also joined the delegates, and
they visited the Securities Analysts Association
of Thailand, the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC), and The Stock Exchange
of Thailand. The Thailand Securities Institute,
under the SEC, offers CISA (Certified
Investment and Securities Analyst) exams.
The CISA program is accredited by the
ACIIA, therefore CISA professionals in
Thailand can directly sit the CIIA final
level examinations. To increase the visibility
of the CIIA in Thailand, the delegation
asked SET for their support. All parties
have committed themselves to reviewing
the CIIA program to take the next step.
On
the same day at the ASAF seminar held
in Bangkok, ACIIA Council member Gary
Cheung outlined the CIIA® program to an
audience of about 100 from all over Thailand
aiming to publicize the global CIIA ®
qualification.
