It will enhance the standard and professionalism of risk management in the finance industry."

"As the financial sector becomes increasingly sophisticated, risk management plays the dual role of maintaining the safety and soundness of banks, as well as the development of new innovative financial products, adds Mr. Ng Nam Sin, Executive Director (Financial Centre Development Department), Monetary Authority of Singapore. "The PRM Certification Training Program is a key initiative that will help advance risk management capabilities and promote sound risk management practices in Singapore."

"We are delighted to work with NUS on this certification program," says Paul Gwee, PRMIA Singapore Regional Director. "With the highly recognized academic standards of NUS and PRMIA's robust program, our candidates will be in the best position to achieve the PRM certification."

The training classes will be held on Saturday mornings over a period of four months, from 14 July 2007 until 17 Nov 2007.
