Background to the CERA credential

In November 2009, 14 actuarial education organisations from around the world took the unprecedented step of agreeing to collaborate to develop and administer a new qualification in ERM, the Chartered Enterprise Risk Actuary (CERA) – a ground breaking achievement, and the birth of the Global CERA Treaty.

The CERA Global Association (CGA) grants actuarial organisations the right to award the global CERA qualification to individual actuaries who have satisfied the requisite education and training requirements set out in the CERA Global Treaty.

As a signatory of the CERA Global Treaty, the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA) can award the CERA qualification to suitably qualified members of the IFoA.
