Executive Summary

To more clearly communicate the alignment of the exams of the PRM certification with the content and structure of the Professional Risk Managers’ Handbook (exams I, II and III) and to broaden the base of cases being covered in Exam IV, we will be making some changes to Exams I, II and IV which are scheduled to be published to our testing centers on March 20, 2006.

Most of these changes are cosmetic and do not represent a significant change in the content of the exam. Therefore, they should not require a major change in your course of study. The only exception to this is the addition of several new cases to Exam IV. For Exam IV, the changes will reflect a movement towards testing for key conceptual understanding of several cases and will focus less on detailed information from only a few cases.

No changes are being made to Exam III.

We are notifying you of this change now so that you can plan you test schedule accordingly. Training course providers have been notified of this change and will be incorporating changes into their programs as appropriate. The PRM Diagnostic exams will be updated to reflect this change just prior to the effective date.

As the cost of exam administration and candidate services continue to increase, exam fees will be increased modestly, effective March 1, 2006. You may purchase vouchers prior to March 1, 2006 at the current rate and may use them at anytime, even after the fee changes have been implemented.

Do we have a separate structure for IT risk management/IS risk management? If so, any related certifications?
