The Pan-Asia Risk and Insurance Management Association (PARIMA) has partnered with the Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance (ANZIIF) to provide risk professionals based in the Asia Pacific region with designation and education.
The partnership was formed was this year’s PARIMA conference by chairman Franck Baron and ANZIIF CEO Prue Willsford to introduce a new PARIMA ANIZIIF - certified risk professionals (PA-CRP) programme.
PARIMA and ANZIIF suggested that an “established certification” should be in place to show the “professionalism and legitimacy” of the risk professionals in the business world.
Stacey Huang, PARIMA’s executive director, said: “The new education offering will allow risk managers to differentiate themselves as risk professionals.”
“By attaining PA-CRP, they 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.”
Willsford added: “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.”
