AAFM ® Accredited Education - Level II is the Highest

ACBSP and AACSB are Recognized by the CHEA which is recognized by the US Department of Education and US Government.

Professional Designations in the United States and Internationally have a long history. Legal cases such as the IBANEZ decision of the Supreme Court imply that bone fide "board certifications" or "professional designation" criteria includes: 1) Accredited Education, 2) Assessment, 3) Degree 4) Continuing Education and 5) Ethics/Professionalism 6) Experience.

Types of Certifications and Accreditation Standards - Level II is the Highest

Certification requiring Level 2 Accredited education and exams. This is the highest form of educational requirements. This education is generally preferred for CPA licensure and for certifications from organizations such as the AAFM American Academy of Financial Management. Level 2 means that both the college or university is accredited AND the business school is also separately accredited by a government recognized body. The ACBSP, AACSB or EQUIS are examples of level 2 accreditation while education from an ABA American Bar Association education would also be level 2.

If you complete a accredited program exams and degree from an ACBSP Business School or AACSB Business School, you may be eligible for Certification based on this highest standard of assessment.

• Note: The AAFM International Board of Standards offers designations and certifications and recognizes only the best government recognized  diplomas and degree programs, and we do not nor do we desire to offer such credentials.A degree, MBA, MSc, or credential based on a Level 2 education is more widely accepted globally than qualifications or degrees that do not maintain "Level 2" Status. Further, course credits are more easily transferrable with reciprocity from Level 2 business schools and institutions that are double accredited.

*Most State and Sovereign Governments worldwide prefer Level II Accreditation for the purposes of business school standards, top MBA programs, or becoming a CPA or Chartered Accountant. Further, Government recognized Bar Accredited Education is required for a legal education and licenses. Level 2 accreditation – the business school. In a Level 2 accreditation, the college or university and the business school are separately accredited, but the accounting program is not separately accredited. This level applies to a business school that is accredited by an organization recognized by the Council of Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) as a specialized or professional accrediting organization, such as the AACSB or the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).
