Best certification for Op. Risk Officer

Hi, I started out last week as an Operational Risk Officer under the risk and compliance department.

I was wondering what is the best certification to get:

  • CFA, although it is the CFO that will be tackling financial risk with me handling non financial risk

  • CERA (Chartered Enterprise Risk Analyst), under the Society of Actuaries. I have a STEM degree so that helps as well

  • Any other suggestions?

Thank you!
