What they say about the CRA Program?

 The CRA Program helps me to understand more on the key concepts of risk management and how I can use it in the future. The extra information and some general knowledge is worth noting. The key thing here is to use this learning to the Company I am or will be part of, by identifying all the risks and opportunities that the Company has, assessing and prioritizing the risks that have significant impact, accepting risks and opportunities that are within the risk appetite of the Company and coming up with ideas on how to mitigate the identified risks through control introduction and implementation.

Risk Management is too broad and there's still plenty to learn. I like how they used an organized approach to Risk Management to help better identify and manage it. I thank Sir Dominic for the personal sharing and insights on various topics and risks he encountered, it's easier to recall the topic based on his sharing.

 The Certified Risk Analyst (CRA) program specifically highlights the importance of accurate risk assessment and risk mitigation. To anyone who is interested in taking Certified Risk Analyst (CRA), I would highly recommend taking it in AAFM Philippines because they conduct fun quizzes and high quality lectures.
