HOUSTON (December 21, 2005) – The Council on Accreditation (COA) has approved Money Management International (MMI) for reaccreditation in its Financial Management Services and Debt Counseling Services program. The COA is an accrediting body designed to promote best practice standards in social and behavioral healthcare services. MMI is a member of COA’s Community of Excellence, which includes more than 1,000 private and public organizations serving more than 6,000,000 children, individuals and families in the United States and Canada.
COA certification signifies that an organization meets the highest national standards and delivers the best quality services to the community it serves. The accreditation process involves an in-depth assessment of each organization’s compliance with best practice standards.
More specifically, the accreditation process includes an assessment of organizational standards including human resources, financial and risk management and continuous quality improvement, as well as thirty-nine service standards. The service standards address a full array of child, family and behavioral healthcare services including financial and debt management, employee assistance program, mental health counseling, substance abuse treatment, foster care, health service areas and a host of other areas.
“We strive each day to make our organization a model for best practices in the credit counseling industry,” said Ivan Hand, President and CEO of Money Management. “To be recognized for our high standards is great validation of our hard work. We’re proud to be able to show our customers and consumers that may be in need of our help that we’ve been accredited by a reputable organization such as the COA."
