Ron Hersmis, Chairman of the CERA Global Association (CGA), is delighted to congratulate Pamela on this significant achievement and recognise this important step forward for global risk management. “There is a global demand for skilled enterprise risk management professionals. CERA is one of the most comprehensive and rigorous enterprise risk management qualifications available.”
“A CERA, because of their training and experience, can assess and manage the entire risk spectrum of an organisation including financial, operational and strategic risk. Pamela and the other CERAs across the globe add value to enterprise risk management through their rigorous training, making them the best equipped to provide a 360° view of an organisation’s risk profile.”
Pamela, Senior Actuarial Analyst at Lloyds Banking Group, Edinburgh, said “I’m delighted to receive the CERA qualification. It’s great to be recognised internationally as an enterprise risk expert. It’s also a pleasure to see that there are now – at least! – 500 of us in the UK, and see that the popularity and recognition for this qualification is continuing to grow.
“Enterprise Risk Management has been an interest of mine since I first started reading about it, and I knew I would like to be more involved with this in the future. The CERA qualification shows that I have the expertise to help companies with their ERM programmes.
“Additionally, the actuarial profession and the environment in which we work, is changing. As a modern and up to date qualification, CERA gives me a good base to deal with those future challenges.
“The CERA qualification opens a lot of doors for me, particularly in terms of career flexibility. As a globally recognised qualification, it opens up options abroad. There are a lot more options of areas to work in, from the traditional actuarial areas to new and exciting opportunities elsewhere.
“As the CERA qualification is only awarded after a series of exams are completed, companies can be sure that any CERAs they employ have the skills to identify, measure and manage risks. Employing actuaries with this qualification will also bring a different point of view and perception to actuarial work, which can provide additional opportunities and insights.”
