Usage Guidelines

• When using the letters only, they must be capitalized (i.e. cra is not a proper use).

• When spelling out the CRA designation, at minimum, the first letter in each word should be capitalized  (i.e. credit risk actuary is not a proper use).

• The CRA designation may not be altered in any way or used to form new symbols or designs nor may they be translated into another language  (i.e. CRa  is not a proper use).

• The CRA designation may not be used in conjunction with a company name or as part of an e-mail address (CRAProvider@webhosting company.com is not a proper use).

• The CRA designation must be used only as an adjective, not in a generic manner or as a common name (i.e. Stating that all doctors are “PhDs” and all credit risk actuaries are “CRAs” is considered generic and is unacceptable).

• Articles, advertisements or promotional materials should indicate that the CRA designation is owned by IAVFA.
