Pamela Robertson (pictured) has become the 500th member in the UK to earn the prestigious CERA (chartered enterprise risk actuary) credential.

CERA is a global risk management qualification and is one of the most comprehensive and rigorous qualifications in risk management. With the growing demand for risk professionals, CERA offers them the best skills to lead organisations' enterprise risk management programmes. 

Robertson, senior actuarial analyst at Lloyds Banking Group, Edinburgh, said: "I'm delighted to receive the CERA qualification. It's great to be recognised internationally as an enterprise risk expert. It's also a pleasure to see that there are now at least 500 of us in the UK, and to see that the popularity and recognition for this qualification is continuing to grow. 

"The CERA qualification opens a lot of doors for me, particularly in terms of career flexibility. As a globally recognised qualification, it opens up options abroad. There are a lot more options of areas to work in, from the traditional actuarial areas to new and exciting opportunities elsewhere."
