RE Exams

The Stockbrokers and Investment Advisers Association of Australia offer Responsible Executive (RE) Examinations.

While the ASX requirements may have changed, the Stockbrokers and Investment Advisers Association believe it is very important to continue to offer this training and the relevant examinations. Notwithstanding the relaxation of rules by the ASX, the Association believe that all REs and Senior Executives should have – and maintain – a working knowledge of the key clearing and settlement requirements. Therefore the Stockbrokers and Investment Advisers Association will continue to offer the 3 x RE Exams:

  1. Markets, Clearing and Settlement Examination (45 questions);
  2. Markets Examination (41 questions); and
  3. Clearing & Settlement Examination (41 questions).

The Stockbrokers and Investment Advisers Association also conduct training workshops for those wanting additional preparation prior to sitting their RE Examinations. For more information please email [email protected]
