Re-post from the Society of Actuaries.

The Society of Actuaries (SOA) is pleased to announce that it has signed a treaty with 13 other international actuarial organizations to establish the Chartered Enterprise Risk Analyst (CERA) as the globally recognized enterprise risk management (ERM) credential.

In making this announcement, Mike McLaughlin, SOA president, stated that this move is a significant endorsement by the global actuarial profession of the need for an international ERM credential. It sends a strong message to employers and candidates that the skill set of actuaries provides significant insight and risk management expertise, especially in this time of increased globalization.

“The adoption of the CERA as a globally recognized credential, and the respect that will gain from employers and clients, immediately strengthens the credential’s value for all CERA holders and will build the supply of actuaries ready to meet the worldwide demand for risk management expertise,” McLaughlin said. He added, “Since the recent G20 meetings in Pittsburgh, the concept of combining strong technical skills with professional standards of conduct has been gaining ground. This credential, and the discipline it represents, addresses that need directly.”
