The Customs and Excise Department (“C&ED”), the regulator of MSOs in Hong Kong, requests directors of MSOs or new licence applicants to pass the “Competence Assessment” before they are allowed to further process MSO licence renewal or new licence application. The Assessment is composed of seven (7) modules. Each module consists of five (5) multiple-choice questions, which means 35 questions as  a whole. The scope of this course wraps up the following, ensuring that your study can cover the whole syllabus of the Assessment: 

1. The “Guideline on Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Financing of Terrorism (For Money Service Operators)” (the “AML Guideline”) 
2. The “Licensing Guide” 
3. The circulars, guidelines issued by the C&ED from time to time 
4. The materials of C&ED’s seminars 

In each page, the documentary sources of all relevant contents are available to facilitate attendants self-introduction. On top of the written contents, you can also listen to the audio explanation and tips to deal with relevant questions you may encounter the Assessment. 

 

You may leave the course mid-way, and you can resume the course at the page where you leave last time. Within the period where you are permitted to access the course, you can re-do the course repeatedly, you can also flip back or skip slides to suit your personal studying needs. 

 

There are over 270 mock questions to equip you with sufficient skills and experience to handle the real Assessment. After you complete a question, you will be given supplementary explanation to the answer, giving you additional confidence to face the Assessment.
