Risk and Compliance Management Professional (CRCMP)
Risk and Compliance Management Professional (CRCMP)
Risk and Compliance Management Professional CRCMP program has been designed to provide with the knowledge and skills needed to understand and support regulatory compliance and enterprise-wide risk management.
Certainly, the course provides with the necessary expertise to pass the CRCMP exam.
Managing risk seems like no longer an exercise reserved strictly for extreme events and unforeseen circumstances.
It has now become a vital and permanent component of an organization’s long-term strategy.
As a result, having an Enterprise Risk Management Framework (ERMF) in place can directly influence the long-term profitability and sustainability of an Organisation.
The bankruptcy at Lehman Brothers, the emergency sale of Merrill Lynch and the trouble at so many other corporations, have something in common. The failure of the risk management and compliance controls, and the understanding that firms do not follow best practices, international standards and regulatory requirement as they should do.
Compliance and risk management have become much more critical, and firms have to provide evidence that they rely on qualified professionals.
The CRCMP program has become one of the most recognized programs in risk management and compliance.
Why should I get certified as Risk and Compliance Management Professional?
After the failures of so many organizations during the recent crisis, firms and organizations hire “fit and proper” professionals who can provide evidence that they are qualified.
Companies and organizations need assurance that employees have the knowledge and skills required to mitigate risks and to accept more responsibility.
Supervisors and auditors ask for independent evidence that the process owners are qualified and that the controls can operate as designed because the persons responsible for these controls have the necessary knowledge and experience.
The marketplace is clearly demanding qualified professionals in risk and compliance management.
