Risk Managers Seek Certification, Business and Industry Trends Analysis

There has been good demand for risk managers.  These specialists, who analyze risk inherent in any number of business situations and financial transactions, have not previously been required to qualify before any sort of governing body or meet specified standards in order to practice.
However, today’s recruiters and employers are increasingly likely to want risk managers with credible credentials.  A short list of competing risk manager certifications is the result.  These include the Global Association of Risk Professionals (GARP)’s Financial Risk Manager certification; the Professional Risk Managers’ International Association’s Professional Risk Manager Certification; the Risk and Insurance Management Society’s RIMS Fellow certification; and the Society of Actuaries’ Society of Actuaries Fellow and Chartered Enterprise Risk Analyst certification.  These certifications require hundreds of hours of study.  While almost all of these organizations are promoting an international standard, GARP, among others, is calling for a global standard similar to a Series 7 certification for those in the securities industry.
