FERMA RECOGNISED IN AWARDS TO PRESIDENT
In London, the UK publication ReActions this week made den Dekker its corporate risk manager of the year in its annual London market awards. The judges described the FERMA president as “an outstanding individual who has worked incredibly hard on behalf of the whole risk management community to ensure that its voice is heard. He has re-energised FERMA since taking over as president and made sure it is part of the inner circle of those consulted by the European Commission on key matters, such as Solvency II and its impact on captives, the insurance block exemption regulation and broker remuneration.” Less than two weeks previously, the Netherlands risk management association, NARIM, of which den Dekker is a member and past president, made him its risk manager of the year. Den Dekker said: “These awards acknowledge the growing role and visibility of FERMA in representing the value of risk management and of risk managers at European level. This is the result of team work, especially by the board of FERMA and its staff.” Next events: FERMA’s next event will be the release of a joint report with the European Confederation of Institutes of Internal Auditing (ECIIA) on the 8th European Company Law Directive dealing with audit committees in Brussels on 21 September. On 29 and 30 September in London, FERMA will hold its biannual, risk managers-only seminar, which will be the venue for the announcement of the results of an important benchmarking survey of the status and concerns of risk managers across Europe.
