Becoming Re-accredited
"I thought accreditation would only benefit large AMCs, but found that the process made us more competitive in the AMC marketplace. And thanks to the AMC Institute's effort in promoting the value and benefits of accreditation, a rising tide is lifting all boats."
— Michael LoBue, CAE, President,
LoBue & Majdalany Management Group,
San Francisco, CA (AMC Owner)

Congratulations on maintaining your AMC Institute Accreditation Status. You need to go through the same process that you did four years ago. The main difference will be that four years ago, you were still creating and documenting your processes. During the reapplication process, you should be doing more verifying, updating, and enhancing.
Here is a list of steps that you need to follow:
- Review the processes that were submitted during your original application.
- You may want to create your own internal Audit Committee to both update your documentation and educate/refresh employees on your AMC's processes.
- Submit the following forms:
- Form 1002 —
Declaration of Intent for AMC Institute Accreditation
- Form 1003 — Licensing Agreement
- Form 1005 — Reviewer’s Commitment Form (and most recent peer review)
- Submit a payment for $275 — the accreditation maintenance fee (As an AMC that is just reapplying, you do not need to send Form #1001 or the $700 for the initial year)
- You should plan to schedule your auditor's visit no later than one month ahead of your accreditation expiration. The Reviewer's Review Report Form 1004 should be submitted no later than three weeks ahead of your accreditation expiration to allow time for processing and confirmation that your Accreditation will proceed without a lapse.
If you have any questions as you progress, please contact Andrea Bower at (215) 564-3484, ext. 2268 or abower@amcinstitute.org.
