In October, the Treaty Board for the CERA Global Credential unanimously approved the CAS as an award signatory. The CAS may now begin to award the Chartered Enterprise Risk Analyst (CERA) credential. The global CERA Web Site contains details about this international designation.

The CAS is in the process of implementing its CERA credentialing process. The CAS requirements to qualify for the CERA designation are:

• Meet all requirements for Associateship in the CAS


• Credit for CAS Exams 7 and 9


• Successful completion of the specific three-day ERM seminar, and


• Successful completion of the U.K. Enterprise Risk Management Specialist Technical Exam (ST9 exam)

Beginning with the October-December 2011 test window, candidates taking the exam for CAS Online Courses 1 and 2 will receive unofficial pass/fail results at the conclusion of their exam.

The unofficial pass/fail result will be displayed on the computer screen at the conclusion of the exam. In most test centers, a printed copy of the candidate’s unofficial pass/fail result will be available upon completion of the computer-based test from the proctor in the administrative area outside the testing room. The candidate, however, should carefully read the result that is displayed on the computer screen at the conclusion of the exam.

When the official grades have been processed, candidates will receive an e-mail from The Institutes stating that their grades are available.
