Many organisations don’t have CROs or believe that they need one. There also seems to still be a blurred line between risk and audit, which ideally should have separate reporting lines and committees… Organisations like PARIMA are setting the path for solving this ‘identity crisis’.

Risk and insurance has some way to go here in China but actually PARIMA is the way to go. We needed a platform for the sharing of knowledge and experiences. That’s why I joined PARIMA and the risk managers here are very eager to learn.

Risk management is a new field and we need all the help that we can to increase awareness and to promote the profession… It will really help if we can raise the competency of risk management in the region.

Proper risk management increase protection and adds value to the organization, contributing to its sustainability. PARIMA supports organizations for better risk management practices, and keeps them on the lookout for the latest relevant issues. With its wide network in APAC and members coming from multiple disciplines, it allow risk managers such as myself to connect with learn from many different industries, countries and expertise.

I see PARIMA as body of knowledge, and an ongoing forum for risk managers and markets to share, exchange and discuss ideas, innovations and issues, All risk managers should participate actively in PARIMA and contribute to the growth of the profession, for the benefit of the organization they work for.

Currently, risk management in Japan is still not developed to a high standard. PARIMA plays a very important role and I believe it will provide the networking opportunities and suport to the community that is currently almost non-existent. This will help improve the skill and quality of risk management.
