What does rma stand for and what is the accrediting agency

Bankers quickly excused themselves from the meeting to make phone calls to check on their exposure. It was clear in that first meeting that early members could benefit by sharing borrower information between banks to prevent such losses. Morris, the principal financier of the Revolutionary War, helped establish our country's banking system. Over the years RMA grew as an organization that could improve bank performance and thus, provide financial stability by arming banks with peer sharing standards, credit education, and critical borrower information.

The original goals to build and maintain standards of risk practice, promote friendship and understanding among lending and credit officers, and conduct research in credit and related subjects remain as relevant today as it was in In th e late s , RMA led the industry in the development of operational risk management. By , we had formally expanded our mission— to advance sound risk management principles to help banks avoid a multitude of potential losses that existed outside of credit risk.

We also changed our name from Robert Morris Associates, named for the patriot financier, to the Risk Management Assocation.

We continued to take a practical business approach, helping banks mitigate risk while allowing them to safely pursue new opportunities. About Us. National medical assisting credentialing organizations use their own designation acronym for certification or registration.

All are a national credential that acknowledges the member as qualified to perform the clinical and clerical duties of a traditional medical assistant. An examination may be given by other organizations, or grant membership by reciprocity, in order to belong. At this time neither the federal or state government require a medical assistant to have been formally trained to be employed, however, graduation from an accredited program benefits the graduate by providing proof of completion of a program that meets nationally accepted standards, recognition of their education by their professional peers and eligibility for registration or certification.

We do not, at this time, require our applicants to take another exam. Will is a Sr. Content Specialist at Collegis Education.
