The CISI Global Securities Operations exam is a Computer-Based Test of 50 multiple-choice questions in 1 hour. The pass mark is 70% (35 out of 50). Exams can be booked year-round at Prometric test centres worldwide.
GSO is primarily taken by operations, settlement, and custody professionals working in securities processing. It's common for trade support staff, middle-office analysts, and back-office team members.
GSO covers the full trade lifecycle including execution, clearing, settlement (T+1/T+2), corporate actions, custody, client money (CASS rules), reconciliations, tax reporting (FATCA/CRS), and risk management in operations.
All content is created from the official CISI workbooks and compiled with input from operations professionals who have passed the GSO exam. Their practical knowledge of settlement systems and CASS rules informs our revision materials.
No formal prerequisites are required. However, some familiarity with how financial markets work is helpful. Many candidates are already working in operations roles when they take GSO.
We do not guarantee a pass — the GSO exam tests practical understanding of complex operational processes. Our mock exams replicate the scenario-based questions style and help you identify weak areas before the exam.
