Step #5: Sign up to attend an AMCI Accreditation Workshop

While this step is optional, we highly encourage your AMC's appointed accreditation team to attend one of our Accreditation Workshops. 

Step #6: Select a Qualified CPA to conduct your AMC's Review. 

Once your AMC has selected a Qualified CPA to conduct your review, AMCs and their Reviewers will complete the remaining forms above and review steps as indicated on the process flowchart.  The process and timeline for these next steps vary per AMC.  

AMCI highly recommends all selected reviewers to review accreditation resources found here.
