Independent Standards Board

The Independent Standards Board of Commercial Collection Agencies of America, Inc. promulgates the criteria setting forth the requirements for an agency to become a certified member and to maintain a certified status on an annual basis.  A special committee is utilized to review, approve and implement the Standards Board certification process to agency applicants. This method is more stringent than of any current or previous processes used by certifying bodies.  The result is a Certificate of Compliance and Accreditation.  The Standards Board is comprised of members of all facets of the accounts receivable management arena.
