“The study sessions organized by IRM helped me gain valuable perspective on how risk management function has evolved, from compliance-centricity to become a competitive advantage. To better understand the nature of risk, several group activities were undertaken. They were thought-provoking, unlike anything I have seen. I actively explored various facets of risk management through the excellent reading material prepared by the IRM experts, which explains multiple concepts with astounding clarity. Global reports on risk now constitute an essential part of my daily reads. I look forward to attempting the Level 2 exam!” said Bhavya from IIM Indore, who secured a rank at the student exam.
