--- On the PRM01: Firm-Wide Risk Management seminar  Comments from past participants   "As risk management is everybody's business, not just CEOs' or Risk heads', everyone should attend.

[Class of April 2002]   "This seminar was beneficial to me as Bank supervisor in our future role in that, moving forward, we need to understand the quantitative models that should be developed and can be applied by our financial institutions.

My thoughts have been clarified after attending the seminar." - Mr. Ching Weng Jin Malaysian Assurance Alliance Berhad, Malaysia. [Class of August 2003]   "There’s the saying: “If I give you a fish, you eat for a day. If I teach you to fish, you eat for a life-time.” I applaud PI-ETA for taking the latter as the approach.

Seminar covered a lot of ground, over and above expectations and ‘set the stage’ for higher threshold of learning and understanding risk from the quantitative aspect.
