1) When I mentioned that GARP was RMs GAAP, our C level immediately
supported any and all endeavors we may make to align our RM program with
the GARP principles (where $$$ allows).  We have been GAAP "compliant"
for years and years, and the similarities were quickly recognized.

2) For ARMA members who want more info or who want to ask questions an
