GARP Committees

 

At the core of our essence, is garnering input from top academics and practitioners from around the world.  All of our key programs and certifications have committees that provide the necessary input to develop the best possible offerings for the financial risk management community.  This process enables us to set globally accepted standards that has long-term benefits for all.

The FRM Committee plays a vital role in preparing the FRM Exam. For that reason, each committee member possesses an expertise in one or more risk management disciplines. GARP ensures that the committee members represent all aspects of financial risk management and that their individual areas of expertise and experience complement each other. Current members include practitioners in credit, operational and market risk, emerging markets, corporate, academia, rating agencies quantitative disciplines, legal and regulatory practices, asset management and insurance.

In order to ensure that exam topics and questions are up to date and relevant, the FRM Committee updates the FRM Study Guide each year and finalizes the exam’s questions approximately two months prior to its administration. The examination is read by a select group of risk management experts located in different countries before it is finalized to ensure that questions are unambiguous and clear to candidates no matter where in the world they may be sitting for the test.
