The Financial Executives Institute of the Philippines (FINEX) and CFA Philippines are joint organizers of the competition.
Questions in the ICFC, administered in multiple-choice format, are based from the CFA Level I Body of Knowledge. You can view the following 6-min promotional video to give you a better idea of the said event: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dO1zwIKprf4.
There are four (4) rounds (AM/PM) in the final league of the competition, consisting of a total of fifty (50) technically, mind-stimulating questions. Each round has either 12 or 13 difficult questions in total and each correct answer is awarded 20 points. The questions are given in a multiple-choice format and teams are given 150 seconds to answer. The questions are varied in areas of economics, statistics and not definitely finance. It actually requires the quick-thinking of participants while having to deal with the pressure of facing an audience.
A team of three members from NUS, Ashish Goel, Ng Chi Ching Eddie and Zhao Haobo, participated in the 10th ICFC that was held in Manila, Philippines on the 13th of October 2008.
