In recent years, the globalization of financial markets, the emergence of international banking regulations and the rapid growth of new sophisticated products have dramatically elevated the role risk management plays in an organization. The Financial Risk Manager (FRM) exam leads to the Financial Risk Manager Certification - a prestigious designation granted by Global Association of Risk Professionals (GARP) since 1997. GARP certifies Risk professionals, Practitioners & Regulators as eligible for independent risk management analysis and decision making for the benefit of the company and its investors.  12 months access.  Instructor supported
