International internal auditor qualification (CIA exam)
China held the eighth international internal auditor qualification (CIA) examination. For many people, "internal auditor" may still be a relatively unfamiliar term, but human resources experts and business people believe that the position of internal auditor in domestic enterprises is increasing day by day, and from the perspective of career prospects, it is quietly evolving into a most promising golden collar occupation. dedecms.com
Li, a professor of "police" and "senior staff" in modern enterprises, as an audit expert, commented on the prospect of this profession: "The internal audit department in modern enterprises is definitely the cradle of senior management talents." Zhang Li of PricewaterhouseCoopers put it more bluntly: "In modern large enterprises, the president and vice president should basically start from the internal audit department. In other words, excellent internal auditors are at least the seedlings of vice presidents and deputy general managers, even if they are not the seedlings of presidents and general managers. "
At present, the International Auditor (CIA) is a global qualification examination launched by the American Institute of Auditors (IIA). CIA is not only a symbol of the status of an expert in the field of international internal auditing, but also the only qualification recognized by the international auditing community. From 65438 to 0998, china institute of internal audit began to cooperate with IIA to implement the CIA qualification examination in China.
According to statistics, since the implementation of the International Internal Auditor (CIA) examination in China from 65438 to 0998, only more than 2,200 candidates have passed its four examinations in four years. Experts pointed out that although there are more than 300,000 people engaged in internal audit in China, many people do not meet the quality requirements of modern enterprises for auditors. There is a huge gap in high-quality auditors, and the gap is still increasing. Because multinational companies are constantly entering China, more and more state-owned enterprises and private enterprises need to go public after restructuring and set up internal audit departments.
It can be predicted that with the increasingly prominent contradiction between supply and demand of international auditors, talents with CIA qualifications will become more and more popular. Regarding the career prospects of internal audit talents, Professor Li said: "Internal audit talents don't have to worry about their own development space, only their skills are not strong enough."
Four of the five most valuable certificates
Chartered Financial Analyst Qualification (CFA Examination)
Chartered Financial Analysts (CFA) are all financial talents with good education and professional training and excellent financial theory literacy. Commercial banks, insurance companies, securities companies, fund management companies, asset management companies and other financial institutions are eager for talents with this certification. This kind of financial talent is very popular in the financial field.
It is understood that CFA is a chartered financial analyst qualification examination established by American Investment Management and Research Association (AIMR) on 1963. This kind of examination is held once a year, and it is one of the biggest vocational examinations in the world. The financial analyst qualification examination is called "the first examination of global finance". It is understood that chartered financial analyst is a professional title generally recognized by the securities investment and management circles in the world today. In developed countries and regions such as Europe and America, obtaining CFA qualification is almost a necessary condition for entering the investment field. Due to the extremely high quality requirements, in the past 40 years, less than 40,000 people around the world have passed the examination to become financial analysts.
To become a CFA, you must pass the global unified examination proposed and organized by the American Investment Management and Research Association. There are three grades: beginning, middle and high. Each person can only apply for one grade each year. The exam focuses on ability, including case analysis, papers and applications. For China candidates, the examination scope covering more than ten subject areas is prohibitive; In addition, papers and applied examination questions based on practical work experience will shut out a considerable number of candidates with China characteristics. Only those who have passed all the three-level examinations and have 3 years of financial experience can finally obtain the qualification certificate.
At present, there is a shortage of senior financial talents in China, and there is a huge gap between supply and demand of financial analysts. Take Shanghai as an example. In the next two years, the demand for CFA in Shanghai is 3,000, while there are only 30 CFA in Shanghai at present. 200 1, of the 409 candidates in Shanghai, only two obtained qualification certificates.
