The Knowledge, Skills and Abilities Needed for Effective Risk Management: Why the FRM is Important To You

Synopsis:

The risk management profession has evolved dramatically in the last ten years. Driven by rapid changes to financial markets, various regulatory initiatives and notable financial crises and control failures, the role of risk management today demands well-trained and skilled individuals. GARP has surveyed risk managers globally to determine the knowledge, skills and abilities needed to succeed as a risk manager today, and we use these results to shape the Financial Risk Manager (FRM) program. We will discuss the forces that are shaping the risk profession today, the key skills and abilities needed and how the FRM program helps individuals demonstrate that they are ready to succeed as risk managers.
