The ACI Suite of Exams is recognised by regulators and central banks,
as well as by many banks and financial institutions all over the world.
Recognition comes in different ways. In some countries, the ACI exams
are officially accredited, e.g. by the FSA in the UK, the DSI Dutch Securities
Institute or the CBSL. In other countries, the exams are officially endorsed
by the regulator, e.g. in Switzerland or they are simply requested by financial
institutions as a requirement to work in a dealing room.
