PURPOSE
The Enterprise Risk Management and Modeling Seminar for CERA Qualification is the first of two requirements of current CAS Fellows (or Associates with Exams 7 and 9) to be a credentialed CERA by the CAS. The second requirement is passing the SP9 Enterprise Risk Management Specialist Technical Exam of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries. As this seminar is a requirement for the CERA designation, participants must attend the entire seminar and actively participate in the group activities in order to be credited with this component of the CERA designation process.
The main purposes of this three-day seminar are to:
- Prepare attendees for active engagement in the ERM process within an organization by discussing real world approaches to ERM as practiced by companies.
- Increase participants' understanding of ERM processes, tools, and techniques through lectures, hands-on case studies, and role-playing.
This seminar will involve both lectures and hands-on applications through four ERM case studies ("mini-cases"). Participants will work in teams to complete technical exercises, and to role play and present their approaches to tackling various issues via the four mini-cases.
During the course, instructors will be requiring participants to use their technical actuarial expertise in support of strategic decisions affecting risk and capital management. Participants will apply technical knowledge to real world strategic decision-making and think from the holistic viewpoint of an enterprise-wide officer. Additionally, the course will integrate actuarial science with financial economics, encouraging participants to consider risk/capital issues from a new perspective. For the mini-case work, participants will be required to bring their own laptop. Economic capital model output related to the mini-cases will be provided to registrants for downloading prior to the seminar.
Attendance is limited to a maximum of 20 participants. Attendees will be selected on a first registered, first accepted basis.
CERA DESIGNATION
On October 8, 2011, the CAS announced that it is a CERA Award Signatory. The CAS's recognition to award the CERA designation and its eventual credentialing of CAS members will help strengthen the standing of qualified CAS members in the field of risk management. More information about the CERA credential can be found on the global CERA website.

Information regarding the 2020 exam timetable for the UK exams may be found online.
