The Pan-Asia Risk and Insurance Management Association (PARIMA) and the Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance (ANZIIF) have entered into a partnership agreement to provide risk professionals in APAC with a professional designation and ongoing professional education.
PARIMA and ANZIIF will jointly certify individuals as PARIMA ANZIIF – Certified Risk Professionals (PA-CRP) based on underlying qualifications and the successful completion of a 2.5 hour examination comprising of five risk management education modules. Topics to be covered include integrated risk management, operational risk management, risk treatment and financing practices and risk management frameworks and documentation.
“The new education offering will allow risk managers to differentiate themselves as risk professionals,” said PARIMA’s Executive Director Stacey Huang. “By attaining PA-CRP, they would have demonstrated that they have the knowledge and expertise in risk management, and that they are dedicated to upholding high standards of ethical and professional conduct that the profession rightly requires.”
“We are thrilled to enter into partnership with PARIMA. This is a wonderful opportunity for both ANZIIF and PARIMA but, most importantly, it will provide risk professionals with world-class education and training and a long-sought credible risk designation” said Ms Prue Willsford, ANZIIF CEO.
The PA-CRP is open for registrations via www.parima.org/certification, with the first examinations to occur in February 2017.
