About Institute of Risk Management (IRM) - India Affiliate

The Institute of Risk Management (headquartered in the UK) is the world's leading professional body for Enterprise Risk Management Qualifications. The institute’s 5-Level professional qualifications, with designations at each stage after Level 2, are globally recognised across industries, and can be pursued by students and working professionals alongside graduation or work. IRM has been driving excellence for over 30 years across 143 countries, and with the India Affiliate, students can now appear for the examinations at any of the 360 exam centers across the country. IRM's 5-level enterprise risk qualifications are the preferred pathway for students, across the globe, aspiring to take on the role of business leaders or chief risk officers (CROs).

IRM's qualifications are different from those in financial, actuarial or insurance risk management, as the qualifications focus on Enterprise Risk which is a much broader concept covering marketing risk, operational risk, compliance risk, business risk, supply chain risk, people risk, cyber risk and much more. Because risk is inherent in every department and function, IRM’s students work in various roles across the world - leadership, chief risk officers, business heads, startups, family businesses, consulting - and across sectors including health, insurance, energy, pharmaceuticals, financial services, and retail, among others.

Given the rise in business failures, evolving regulatory landscape, and fast paced complex changes affecting businesses including crisis situations like the Covid-19, organisations have started to realise the importance of enterprise risk management as a tool for enhanced strategic value, for sustainable business growth.
