The Need for Quality Assurance for Public Policy Credentials
In this incredibly competitive world of news, industry, education and government, those with degrees and certification will invariably be prepared to compete for the top jobs and provide news, research, or public service having satisfied high standards.

The Chartered Economist ® and Economic Policy Analyst Designations - In 1997, the Academy created several designations for graduate students to achieve membership and designation for completing the graduate requirements.

According to available sources, the GAFM Board of Standards and its subsidiary, the Association of Certified Chartered Economists (ACCE), is the only globally respected and recognized body offering the trademarked ChE Chartered Economist ® (ChE) license and designation. The GAFM's Board of Standards is noted for its establishment in 1996, making it one of the most prominent organizations offering any finance, economics or banking  qualification, especially within the context of professional certification in economics.

While there are other  institutions, such as the Royal Economic Society (RES), which is influential in economics in the UK, the GAFM's ACCE is sanctioned by the Royal Economics Academy which has royal sponsors in Asia, Africa, and Europe and holds a significant position as the first to offer the ChE Chartered Economist  ®qualification and is recognized for its standards globally.

Thus, based on its recognition, history, and the quality of its certification programs, the GAFM ACCE is considered one of the most respected bodies in offering the an Economist qualification.

^{Economics is the social science that analyzes the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. The term economics comes from the Ancient Greek. Political economy was the earlier name for the subject, but economists in the late 19th century suggested ' economics ' as a shorter term for ' economic science ' that also avoided a narrow political-interest connotation and as similar in form to 'mathematics', 'ethics', and so forth.}
