ARM™ 400 Most Important Topics

In our opinion, there are three critically important topics that you need to know to pass the ARM™ 400 exam:

Risk technology – Enterprise-Wide Risk Management (ERM) and how it utilizes technology and smart products to mitigate risk. This includes blockchain, cloud storage, artificial intelligence (AI), the internet of things (IoT), robotics, sensors, and smartphones. Understand how these technologies can be applied to a real industry or real scenario to mitigate risk.
Risk measurements – Understand the methods of quantitatively measuring risk including KPIs (leading and lagging), CSFs, and KRIs. Understand how to read and apply these measures in a real scenario.
Risk employees – understand the roles, responsibilities, and risk departments including the risk champion, chief risk officer (CRO), CEO, board of directors, and risk committee.
Risk laws – understand the various risk laws, standards, and regulations such as the Dodd-Frank Act, Solvency II, Basel III, COSO, IIA, ISO 9000 Series, and the UK Corporate Governance Code.

We have found that these are important topics that may be on your exam in the form of a scenario-based question.
