Organisations are placing greater reliance on having competent senior risk professionals to influence, facilitate, evolve and guide the design, implementation, maintenance, improvement and evolution of the enterprise’s Risk Management Framework, which includes, but is not limited to:
• Risk Management Plan
• Risk Management Strategy
• Risk Capacity (appetite statements, budget, limits, and tolerances)
• Risk Culture
• Risk Processes (identification, assessment, treatment, monitoring and reporting)
This involves interacting with the Board and the senior executive management to assist, guide, review, monitor and report on strategic, tactical and operational levels of risks within the business. This includes influencing the Board and executive management and the organisation as a whole in implementing risk management with particular emphasis on ISO31000:2018 Risk Management Standard (“Standard”). It is expected that organisations will ‘adapt’ the Standard to meet their organisational context and business environment. The CCRO™ role is wider than a person with qualifications, accountabilities and experience only in a specialty area such as Work Health & Safety, Security, Fraud, Audit, Training/Education Delivery etc.
It is a CCRO™ proficiency requirement to influence, develop, implement and evolve risk management enterprise-wide.

• An interview conducted by a panel appointed by the RMIA. This may include requiring the applicant to respond to a risk-based scenario or case study.
• Reference checks, if deemed necessary by the RMIA.
