I am frustrated as well. I work in operational risk (my role is even called Operational risk manager) for 3 years and they rejected my experience saying it is not related to financial risk but to operational risk. Why do they put operational risk in the curriculum, when they do not accept the experienceThis is ridiculous. GARP rejected my work experience and said that's unrelated to risk. I had been an auditor for 2 years and they said what I wrote was irrelevant. I thought they had a sort of guideline that specifically stated auditing counts towards the work experience requirement.
