OTTAWA, March 27, 2014 /CNW/ - The CERA Global Association is pleased to announce that Jared Strock has become the 2,000th person to earn the prestigious CERA (Chartered Enterprise Risk Analyst) credential.
A CERA, because of their training and experience, can assess and manage the entire risk spectrum of an organization, including financial, operational, and strategic risk. Jared and the other CERAs across the globe—who have earned their designations via the Canadian Institute of Actuaries and similar bodies—add value to enterprise risk management (ERM) through their rigorous training, and they are among those best equipped to provide a 360-degree view of an organization's risk profile.
Jared is an Associate of the Society of Actuaries and a consulting actuary with CSG Actuarial in Nebraska.
Frank Sabatini, Chair of the CERA Global Association, is delighted to congratulate Jared on this significant achievement and recognize 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 ERM qualifications available."
Jared said: "ERM can apply to a wide range of companies and industries. Whether it's the insurance industry, the banking industry, a Fortune 500 company, or your local restaurant chain, the practice of ERM can be applied, and can add much value to any organization. The broad scope to which ERM applies really attracted me to seeking the designation. The skills I have acquired while gaining the CERA designation will allow me to better serve my clients."
