Note on AAFM Requirements and
Criteria for Board Certification:
As you know, many other organizations attempt
to set up their own college, universities or training
programs that lead to their own certification in the USA.
AAFM is the first organization in the world to enter joint
education recognition agreements with the AACSB and ACBSP
which includes the 560 top ACCREDITED business schools
worldwide that are recognized by the department of education.
From a legal standpoint, you must realize
that AAFM has recognized (in mutual and legal agreements)
560+ business schools and graduate law schools worldwide
through agreements with the AACSB and ACBSP and ABA Law
Schools. Thus, we have accredited and sanctioned over
560+ colleges and universities that provide government
approved or sanctioned education.
So, AAFM accepts successfully completed
credits and degrees completed from these top 560 business
schools, MBA programs, and law schools worldwide. It is
an unprecedented move by AAFM that has NEVER been achieved
by ANY organization worldwide. AAFM also accredits and
approves qualified ABA Accredited Law School Courses and
degrees that lead to certification.
Thus, AAFM is the first financial organization
in the WORLD to achieve this status and legal arrangements
with 560+ Business schools and law schools worldwide.
AAFM has the Most Registered and Approved business schools
and laws schools in the world. More than ANY other independent
financial organization.
We are a Board of Standards that offers
charters & board certification to qualified individuals
who have met our experience and ethic requirements. Further,
on its face, we offer certification to those who have
successfully passed multiple courses and exams at ACCREDITED
SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES through our legal recognition
agreements worldwide.
In general, any of our members who have
applied from our 560+ accredited and approved law and
business school relationships HAVE MET THE MOST STRENUOUS
CRITERIA FOR COLLEGE ACCEPTANCE, COURSE REQUIREMENTS,
COURSE COMPLETION, COURSE TESTING AND DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
IN THE WORLD.
** Unlike other organizations, the AAFM
has always required accredited college education for membership.
Moreover, the bulk of AAFM membership are not "salespersons"
or so called producers. Most of AAFM members are in positions
of management such as: Financial Managers, Asset Managers,
Estate and Trust Managers, Wealth Managers, Accountants,
Economists, Corporate Finance Managers and so on.......
*Candidates at a young
age should realize that they can: Apply for admission
to a college, earn acceptance to an accredited program,
excel in a focus area, pass all of the course exams, and
then become eligible for board certification if they meet
the other requirements such as experience, ethics and
continuing education. It can be a 4-7 year certification
process depending on if you go into a masters program,
but our Board of Standards has the most respected path
and method of certification which cooperates directly
with government recognized schools.
NOTE on designations and credentials:
AAFM mandates that all members subject to
US Jurisdiction abide by the rules and regulations of
the SEC, NASD and local, state and federal regulators
and laws. Any member who uses an AAFM designation or board
certification should understand that policy and regulation
differs from broker-dealer to broker dealer and possibly
from state to state thus reducing the ability to use any
or all designations. All members that advise clients on
investments or insurance products are encouraged to earn
and hold an investment advisors license, series 65, 66
or RIA registration or licenses for the sale of insurance
products. Moreover, any AAFM member should know that they
may be subject to the rules of suitability, client objectives,
diversification of client assets, to NOT use risky investments,
anti- fraud,
rules of representation, the way you hold yourself out
to clients & prudent investing for any client who
may be nearing retirement or has fixed income needs.
For anyone who holds themselves out as an Analyst and
provides analsis on investments, you must be familiar
with all rules under the SEC and NASD. Please review this
one also http://www.sec.gov/divisions/marketreg/mregacfaq0803.htm#parta
as you may be subject to this
rule
You comprehend that we do not offer any degree or diploma
from the USA, but we do offer professional designations
to those who have met the accredited education and training
and experience requirements. You understand that the AAFM
effectively recognizes and accredits over 560 double accredited
business schools globally. You agree that you have read
the terms and disclaimers and other requirements publicly
listed on the websites. Any offers for membership and certification
are good for 5 days. If not accepted, the offers act as
though they never existed.
If
you are applying from outside of the USA, the Board has
the legal right to refer your application to the organizations
who are in charge or have authority over and in your region
or territory. Even if you believe that you are qualified
under the requirements, the Board has the full right to
request that you complete an AAFM recognized or required
course and exam in the territory who may have oversight
from your region. ALSO The International Headquarters for
Certification and Designation Training is based in Singapore
with government license to manage, operate and consult along
with rights to legally issue certificates or international
diplomas from that sovereign region. The secondary headquarters
is based in Beijing and Delhi. The Board consists of members
in several countries and the situs of the board can move

THE FEDERAL ZONE. l) Educational Licenses, Accreditation,
and State Sanction. The FinancialCertified does not claim
to be a college or university nor does it claim accreditation
from any 501 bodies, state, or federal government agency
or body. The FinancialCertified is not a 501c3 organization
and never has claimed to be a tax free or charitable entity.
The FinancialCertified may engage in business with charitable
organizations or form alliances with charities that operate
under 501 but the FinancialCertified operates as a responsible,
growing, proprietary, growth oriented, and profit oriented
association and company. The FinancialCertified is an
independent authority similar to other American Associations.
The FinancialCertified grants certificates, certifications,
marks, designations, and charters much like hundreds of
other legal educational and recognition institutes or
associations in the United States. The FinancialCertified
follows the criteria of the Ibanez decision in the United
States. We encourage all members and certified members

ethics, and continuing education. The FinancialCertified
licenses its marks and logos to others. The marks are
generally licensed to individuals. The FinancialCertified
will license the AAFM and other marks and logos to companies,
universities, or other uses upon the consent of its board.
As e-commerce is a relatively new field, it is impossible
for any association to have been in this field for any
significant length of time. With this in mind, new and
growing fields of study and practice should be given the
opportunity to grow and flourish without government interference.
FinancialCertified claims no government sanction or alliance.
FinancialCertified has formed legal relationships with
professors, college organizations, university groups and
independent training associations and facilities. As accreditation
is generally not operated by any government body, The
FinancialCertified is self governing and our members and
certified members are self governing through our regulations,
ethics, and continuing education, and standards much like
lawyers, accountants, or financial planners. 1. Intellectual

specialists, chartered financial professionals, wealth
managers, asset managers, lawyers, university professors,
and investment managers. Our programs are designed to
accommodate the busy professional. Other Certification
programs are riddled with problems because they: Take
years to complete, are unrealistic, use poorly designed
tests (outdated to new treasury or tax regulations), are
cumbersome, and costs are unreasonable. Our Top-Class
organization can recognize those who have taken many postgraduate/college
exams, attended many courses and conferences focusing
on continuing education, and accumulated specific on-the-job
experience and education. FinancialCertified designations,
charters, & certifications are for those professionals
who have already proved themselves in the industry. After
you have completed the application and become a member
and been awarded your designations and credentials, you
will be recognized by the FinancialCertified in your career
goals and listed on our Global Registry. If you desire
to be a member before you meet the experience and education
requirements, you may apply for membership, but you will
submit all certification information when you meet experience
and other requirements. Moreover, student memberships
are available. If you meet the requirements and criteria
to become certified and receive a charter, you will become
a "FinancialCertified" or "FinancialCertified"
which is a "Fellow or Diplomate of the American Academy
of Financial Management Analysts" and have full use
