Chartered Enterprise Risk Actuary

Chartered Enterprise Risk Actuaries (CERAs) are best qualified to lead an organisation’s Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) program because:

• CERAs are trained through a rigorous examination process to identify, measure and manage risks and opportunities within complex enterprises;
• CERA training does not stop with mathematics and quantitative finance - CERAs are equipped to develop models that reflect the real world and can inform strategic decisions;
• CERAs make smart, confident decisions related to complex financial challenges by applying qualitative and quantitative insights to risk management; and
• as actuaries, CERAs are bound by a code of professional conduct to act with integrity, care and competence.
