    Hi everyone!

    It looks like examiners might test knowledge of current market issues/trends/challenges in ERM.

    Do you have any ideas about potential ones as for 2013 year?

    Thanks a lot!

    Thanks a lot!

    It is a good example of poor internal controls and operational risks in general.

    My thought was about recent industry trends, something like new insurance products, new ART mechanisms and so on...

    Do you know something like this?
