Being the first ISO 21001 accredited body and the first in the USA to obtain ISO 29990 certification is not an easy task, but we did get accreditation and also got ISO 9001 certification in Europe and internationally.
Professional accreditation and development are in constant revolution around the world. As we have paid attention to executives globally for more than 20 years, we are creating education and standards with new approaches to metrics, technology, accreditation, pedagogy and development methods.
Because of our innovations, we can foster greater learning principles and new strategic thinking for professionals more efficiently than traditional methods. While some in business simply offer narrow options for learning styles, GAFM® is created by thought leaders, experts, managers, professors, and CEOs from the “real world” by integrating high-level certification, assessment, accreditation, professional development standards, alumni and benchmarks.
Instead of creating a one-stop-shop designation, GAFM® has taken a research-based approach to our charter structures and certifications and has created specialized designations for professions in banking, management consulting, accounting, project management, risk management, economics, compliance, wealth management, and finance.

In the Middle East and North Africa region
In the Global Academy for Finance and Management – the regional office, we strive to form the first channel for professional information in the Arabic language, as we are working on translating and auditing the training content for all international professional (GAFM) certificates through committees of experts and specialists who are scientifically and professionally recognized.
We have also sought in recent years to form Chapters branches in every Arab country whose goal is to facilitate communication with institutions in the government and private sectors, through the vision and mission of the International Academy for Finance and Management. And we are in the Iraq branch through its wise management represented by Mr. Hisham Khaled and the members of the Board of Trustees, we are striving to bring everything that is distinctive to the business sectors in Iraq, and this is what has been achieved in the record period of time since its establishment in 2019, where a set of international professional certificates was presented in the language Arabic and the launch of several accredited courses and free workshops aimed at raising awareness about the latest developments in science.
