The Global CERA Credential
A Global Credential
CERA as a Global Credential
Idea emerged from discussions at meetings of the International Actuarial Association and the international Presidents’ Forum
The SOA’s CERA credential viewed as a model for a global credential
History in the Making
In November 2009, the SOA and 13 actuarial organizations signed a treaty to establish SOA’s CERA credential as the globally recognized ERM credential
First time (we believe) in any profession that multiple organizations have joined to offer a specialized credential!
