Risk Management Standards (976
slides, A13 above)
The US Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection
Act is the most significant piece of legislation concerning the
financial services industry in about 80 years. What does it mean for
risk and compliance management professionals? It means new
challenges, new jobs, new careers, new opportunities.
The bill establishes new risk
management and corporate governance principles, sets up an early
warning system to protect the economy from future threats, and
brings more transparency and accountability. It also amends
important sections of the Sarbanes Oxley Act. For example, it
significantly expands whistleblower protections under the Sarbanes
Oxley Act and creates additional anti-retaliation requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How comprehensive are the slides? Are they
just bullet points? Answer: The slides are not just bullet points, you can read them,
understand and learn. But, they are not a book. These are the
official slides we use in our instructor led classes.2. Do
I need to buy books to pass the exam? Answer: No. If you study the slides carefully, you can pass the exam. If
you fail the first time, it is not a failure, it is an opportunity
to study more. Print the slides and use Post-it to attach notes like
"COSO" "Operational Risk" etc. to know where to find the answer of
the material you do not remember.
3. Is
it an open book exam? Why?
Answer: Yes, it is an open book exam. Risk and
compliance management is not something you have to memorize, it is
something you have to understand.
4. Do
I have to sit for the exam soon after receiving the presentations?
Answer: No. You can sit for the exam from your office
or home any time in the future. We will create an online account
that never expires.5. Do
I have to spend more money in the future to remain certified? Does
the certification lose its value after
some time?Answer: No. Your certificate never
expires. It will be valid without the need to spend money or to
sit for another exam in the future.6. Ok,
the certificate never expires,
but things change... Answer: If a university degree never expires, why should our
certificate expire? Yes, things change, and exactly this is the
reason you need to become a member of the Association. Membership is
free. You will receive a monthly newsletter with updates, alerts and
opportunities to remain current. There is no cost for that.
7. How
many hours do I need to study in order to pass the exam?
Answer: It depends on your knowledge and experience. You must study
the presentations carefully. You must go through the slides another
time, and ensure you have learned the details. It will take 30 - 50
hours.
8. I
want to learn more about the online exam.
Answer: You will be given 90 minutes to
complete a 35 question multiple-choice
exam. You must score 70% or higher.
9. Why
should I be certified?Answer: After the failures of so many organizations during
the current market crisis, there is a need for a much better understanding in risk and
compliance management. Investors, supervisors, auditors and all stakeholders ask for assurance that there
are qualified professionals in risk and compliance management, with the
knowledge and skills to understand and mitigate risks. It is important to be certified and
to belong to professional associations. You prove that you are
somebody who cares, learns, and belongs to a global community of
professionals.
10.

investigate first. You may search for other programs. If you
choose our distance learning and online certification program:

presentations of the instructor-led class).
