Global demand for skilled enterprise risk management professionals is growing in nearly every industry.

CERA is one of the most comprehensive and rigorous enterprise risk management qualifications available. It aims to address the urgent need for highly-qualified risk management professionals worldwide, especially in the financial sector.  The CERA credential encompasses a world-class curriculum that combines actuarial science with the theoretical, practical and professional principles of enterprise risk management.

CERA is designed to equip actuaries to fulfil roles such as chief risk officer in fields such as insurance; reinsurance; consulting; energy; infrastructure; transport; manufacturing; technology; media; and healthcare.

CERA was first developed by the US Society of Actuaries which later joined with a group of other actuarial associations to sign the CERA Board Treaty in Hyderabad in November 2009. It was the first time that actuarial organisations had worked globally to offer a specialized professional credential.

Speakers from the Society of Actuaries, Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, and Casualty Actuarial Society will explain the benefits of obtaining this elite qualification and the various pathways available.
