Chartered Institute of Islamic Finance Professionals (CIIF)
The Chartered Institute of Islamic Finance Professionals (CIIF) was established in 2015 as the professional body for Islamic finance practitioners, succeeding the pioneering work of the Association of Chartered Islamic Finance Professionals Malaysia (ACIFP). It is tasked with the role of setting global quality professional standards for Islamic finance practitioners. These professional standards aim to elevate the quality and professionalism of Islamic finance practitioners who are its members, to ensure that the industry is supplied with high calibre talents to support its continued development and growth.
The CIIF aims to connect its members with global opportunities, by catalysing international recognition of its professional standards through strategic linkages, establishing collaborations, partnerships, and network building. Through the Islamic Finance Profession Charter, the CIIF is recognised as the professional body for Islamic finance talents, and has been mandated to drive greater professionalism and quality in the development of Chartered Professionals in Islamic Finance.
Its flagship qualification, the Chartered Professional in Islamic Finance (CPIF), will be rolled out in phases throughout 2018. The CPIF comprises four levels of progression, starts from Foundation, Intermediate, Proficient, and leading towards the attainment of the CIIF’s Chartered membership status. The CPIF aims to develop versatile and universal professionals who are conversant in Islamic finance knowledge and techniques, and candidates may select from Islamic banking or takaful tracks.
The CIIF will also set Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for its members as part of its effort to support continuous learning and upskilling.
