New Global Recognition for IAFM Qualifications
May 12, 2009
IMPROVED GLOBAL RECOGNITION FOR IAFM QUALIFICATIONS
The International Academy of Financial Management and it's membership was today recognized by two very distinguished US-based bodies.
The American National Standards Institute is the US institute that oversees the creation, promulgation and use of thousands of norms and guidelines that directly impact businesses in nearly every sector. ANSI is also actively engaged in accrediting programs that assess conformance to standard. IAFM was today officially made a member of ANSI and we are proud to add this recognition to our growing global credibility.
The National Organization for Competency Assurance (NOCA) is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to providing educational, networking and advocacy resources for the credentialing community. NOCA's accrediting body, the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA), evaluates certification organization for compliance with the NCCA Standards for the Accreditation of Certification Programs. IAFM is pleased to have been awarded membership status with NOCA giving our members even more recognition in the critical USA marketplace.
George Mentz, CEO and Founder of the Board commented that "the American Academy of Financial Management continues to seek the involvement of best-practice partners who can provide our members with greater professional recognition for their professional designations. The NOCA and ANSI recognition is just another example of how the Board is working to improve the branding of the Board and the credibility of our qualifications in the marketplace..."

Warning to members about online "training" shops offering FAKE certificates
April 29, 2009
Legal Notice to protect members from false information and former servants of IRR:
The AAPM ® American Academy of Project Management ® is the global certification standards body responsible for our international standards and certification integrity. The Australian chapter was shut down after it was discovered that some individuals involved with the Australia group were caught selling counterfeit diplomas in China.
Offshore certificates are NOT authorized by the Founding Board of Presidential Councillors and Governors which owns the IP and Trademarks. For over a decade, we have worked hard to stop offshore counterfeiting, and this particalar offshore scheme to defraud saddens us all.
This in no way affects our global members, our unmatched standards, services and our products. All support and assistance will continue to originate with our international offices in the USA and Singapore. Any emails/notifications you receive from individuals purporting to represent members containing information about new web sites (e.g. theiafm.org or theiapm.org etc), the ability to purchase certificates and qualifications without any education by simply buying a 3 day class, etc are not sanctioned by the professional authorities. All authentic qualifications require qualified education, diploma, and assessment in person. Otherwise your certification will not be recognized by authorities such as FINRA, and your qualification will not be attested by the State Department of the US if required by your employer. We have warned the FINRA and the Arab League and the Chinese Government about this Australian Counterfeiting ring.
The only official websites for member communication is either aapm.eu or www.CertifiedProjectManager.us AAPM USA. All offshore chinese or australian websites promoted to the membership are not recognized by the Professional Authority.
