How to study it

  • Keep a glossary of technologies and always pair each with a finance use-case and a risk.
  • Practise interpreting charts and metrics — DF rewards judgment on what the data implies.
  • Link regulation/governance questions back to EG habits: accountability, controls, and stakeholders.
  • Use mixed-module MCQ sessions; ecosystem and regulation questions often wrap a tech vignette.
