Corporate interest is growing in the Financial Big Data Analyst (FDA) certification exam administered by the Korean Institute of Certified Public Accountants (KICPA).
According to KICPA on the 6th, some companies in the job market have been actively recruiting those who passed the Financial Big Data Analyst certification exam, which was first held domestically in January.
The Financial Big Data Analyst certification is reported to be especially popular among job seekers in the management field, corporate practitioners, and accounting professionals. In the third exam held last September, 22 employees from Korea Water Resources Corporation took the exam as a group. The highest scorer was also from Korea Water Resources Corporation, Ms. Kang Eun-young (30). Despite being in the early stages of the exam’s implementation, the Financial Big Data Analyst exam shows a strong connection with university education and is gaining attention for its usefulness in career development and practical work among professionals such as certified public accountants and public sector workers.
Kim Young-sik, Chairman of KICPA, said, "We are feeling the strong interest from the job market, with requests for recommendations of successful candidates coming from credit rating agencies and companies. This certification not only increases one’s value when performing tasks such as accounting audits, consulting, and internal audits of listed companies, but it is also suitable as preparation for the Data Analytics section that will be included in the CPA exam starting in 2025."
