Jersey City (New Jersey) [US]/ Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 16 (ANI/ Seraphim Communications): The Global Association of Risk Professionals (GARP) and the Indian Institute of Banking and Finance (IIBF) announced today that they will work together to support the growth and development of skilled risk professionals in India.

Through the collaboration, IIBF members will have the opportunity to enroll in GARP's Financial Risk and Regulations (FRR™) Certificate program at a preferred rate, access other GARP educational offerings, and connect with its global network of risk professionals. GARP is the world's leading risk management association and provider of the Financial Risk Manager (FRM®) Certification and Sustainability and Climate Risk (SCR®) Certificate.

Formerly known as the Indian Institute of Bankers (IIB), the IIBF is a not-for-profit institution dedicated to developing finance professionals through education, training, examination consultancy, and continuing professional development. Its flagship programs include the Certified Associate of Indian Institute of Bankers (CAIIB) and Junior Associate of Indian Institute of Bankers (JAIIB). Members must complete these programs before accessing preferential FRR rates.

"We are delighted to have this opportunity to collaborate with IIBF and look forward to supporting the members with our educational and professional development programs while exploring ways to engage the risk community in India," said Michael Sell, global head of institutional outreach at GARP.

The recent pandemic, increasing use of technology, and emerging risks have heightened awareness of the need for well-rounded risk professionals who can effectively anticipate, respond, and mitigate traditional and non-traditional risk factors.

"The best risk management practices are a sine qua non in banking," said IIBF CEO Biswaketan Das. "Collaboration with GARP will help banking and finance professionals in India acquire a deeper insight into globally accepted risk management practices."

The partnership follows a recent GARP study of 2,100 global risk managers which indicated a gap between demand and availability of skilled risk professionals.

"We have over 6,000 certified FRMs in India and the demand for risk management education is expanding there," said William May, global head of certifications and educational programs at GARP. "We are committed to India and see it as an important and growing part of GARP's international risk community."

Additional details about the collaboration between GARP and IIBF can be found on the IIBF website.
