I am sorry to say that this community is no longer being updated. This result is due to the community missing two of its critical success factors:
- Achieving a critical mass of content contributors
- Achieving sufficient sponsorship or advertising income to sustain its ongoing development
I would like to thank all of those who have supported the community during its 18 month life, and wish you all the best as risk managers, world-wide, are reinvigorated by regulators, the financial sector and other industries examining the governance failures behind the current global financial crisis.
