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The following Acts have since been repealed with the FSA and IFSA being in place: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On this note, we wish to advise that examination questions relating to the above-mentioned repealed Acts will no longer be examined from August 2013 onwards and questions on the FSA and IFSA will only be examinable commencing January 2014.

AMENDMENTS TO THE EXAMINATION REFUND POLICY
Amendments have been made to the AICB Examination Fees Refund Policy. Please note that the module fee and examination fee are non-refundable and non-transferrable except in the most extenuating circumstances. Candidates are advised to assess their readiness and make a firm decision before they register for the module and examination.
The key changes are as follows:
1) A candidate who has withdrawn or is absent from an examination will not be entitled to any refund of the module fee or examination fee paid or to carry forward the fee to the next examination sitting.
2) However, the Institute may consider allowing a one-time transfer of the examination fee to the immediate next sitting in the case of a candidate who encounters extenuating circumstances. The module fee is not transferable
3) Candidates who wish to claim extenuating circumstances are required to submit the completed Extenuating Circumstances Form and supporting documents, to the Head of Assessment:
- In the case of applications for a transfer of the examination fee no later than ten (10) working days from the date of the examination
concerned; - In the case of applications for additional attempts or an extension of time to complete a module/examination, no later than ten (10) working days from the release of the related examination results.
Kindly note that candidates should only enrol and register for their selected module and exam date once they are firm with their decision on their preferred module and exam date.
All applications for the extenuating circumstances must be accompanied by the application form as well as the necessary supporting documents.
The latest version of the Examinations Regulations containing the amendments can be downloaded below.
