Examination & Awards
The Financial Services Act 2013 (FSA) and Islamic Financial Services Act 2013 (IFSA) which came into force on 30 June 2013 integrated several separate laws to govern the financial sector under a single legislative framework for the conventional and Islamic financial sectors respectively.
The following Acts have since been repealed with the FSA and IFSA being in place:
- Banking and Financial Institutions Act (1989) (BAFIA);
- Islamic Banking Act 1983;
- Insurance Act 1996;
- Takaful Act 1984;
- Payment Systems Act 2003; and
- Exchange Control Act 1953.
All study materials will be updated accordingly in due course.
On this note, we wish to advise that examination questions relating to the above-mentioned repealed Acts will no longer be examined from August 2013 onwards and questions on the FSA and IFSA will only be examinable commencing January 2014.
