Certification must only be awarded to professionals who meet established eligibility and competence requirements. To ensure validity, reliability, impartiality, and fairness, IFMI applies structured procedures designed to maintain the credibility of the certification program and the professional value of its designation holders.

The Professional Financial Modeler (PFM) Certification Program follows internationally accepted standards that are widely recognized as the benchmark for personnel certification worldwide. These standards are applied across professions to ensure that certification programs are trustworthy, transparent, and competency-based.

To demonstrate compliance with these standards, the PFM Program undergoes independent accreditation by external bodies. The program is accredited by the International Accreditation Service (IAS), USA, and by Komite Akreditasi Nasional (KAN), Indonesia, the national accreditation body authorized by the Government of Indonesia.

Through these accreditations, the PFM Certification Program provides assurance to employers, clients, stakeholders, and regulators that certified persons have demonstrated competence through a fair and impartial assessment process, and that the certification is recognized internationally.
