Securities Fraud Analysis

The specialized subject matter of this program dictates that persons entering it have already attained a certain level of sophistication in the interpretation of financial and economic information. Accordingly, entrance to the proposed program will be open to persons who have demonstrated their knowledge and experience by having earned one or more appropriate professional and academic credentials, including, but not limited to: Chartered Financial Analyst; Chartered Business Valuator; Chartered Insolvency and Restructuring Professional; Fellow of the Canadian Securities Institute; Professional accountants (CA, CGA, CMA); Ph.D. or MBA in accounting, finance, or a related field. Foreign equivalents of the foregoing (NOTE: The equivalency of foreign qualifications and credentials will be performed by the International Credential Evaluation Service at BCIT. Applicants are required to order a Comprehensive Report.) In addition, a formalized alternate entry process may be applied to assess the education, experience, and qualifications of applicants whose training and background may make them suitable candidates, notwithstanding their lack of formal professional credentials. All applicants will be required to provide a clean criminal record check as well as reference letters from employers, clients, or others who can attest to their professional competence and integrity, before being accepted into the program.
