@ardeshir said “ Does any one think that a good knowledge of Maths is essential to complete the CFA examinations? Or will I be fine without it?”
If you are embarking on CFA good knowledge of maths may be ( ‘may be’, not ‘is’) an asset ( ‘may be’, not ‘is’ , otherwise all those who are good in maths would have  been successful in CFA) but by no means “good knowledge of Maths” which include calculus, advanced algebra and trigono0metry etc, is not at all ‘essential’ for completing CFA. With reasonable intelligence (which in any case is a minimum expectation to clear all levels of CFA) and commitment you may learn the additional maths and stats that you would need to complete the curriculum. In worse case you have to provide a few hours extra  (not more than 25-30 hours) to be at par with those who are good in maths and are doing CFA with you. If you are good numerically, your working as credit risk analyst has made you understand the basic principles of finance/risk management  and are prepared to update your maths knowledge as and when you need – go ahead and enroll. But be advised - it may not be a cake-walk!
By the way, have you seen the details of FRM as it may be highly relevant to your work /field.
