Get a Career Boost! Begun in 1994, CMIR certification has proven to further your standing in the IR profession. The CMIR program was designed not only to elevate professional standards and personal performance, but also to recognize and distinguish
those who have reached the highest levels of professional achievement in
investment recovery management. Fewer than 200 investment recovery
professionals have earned the CMIR designation, so this is an elite group! Individuals obtaining the designation have been tested to meet
high standards of current knowledge, expertise and professionalism and
have pledged to adhere to a strict CMIR Code of Ethics.
Once the CMIR is earned, the designee must accumulate professional
credits and submit a completed recertification form four years after
the original date of certification. Following that date,
recertification is required every five years.
Requirements for CMIR Certification:
- Experience in the investment recovery profession for three or more years.
- Acceptable in character, ability and reputation.
- Pledged in writing to adhere to the Investment Recovery Association Code of Ethics.
- Developed 35 points from your Personal Data Form.
- Pass written exams proving a working knowledge of the profession.
CMIR Module Sessions and exams are given at each Investment Recovery Association seminar.
There is a
CMIR Study Guide available for reference, whether or not you are pursuing CMIR certification.
CMIR Fellow
The CMIR Fellow is awarded to an individual who has been an active
member of the Investment Recovery Association and has had life
experience in the investment recovery profession for a minimum of 10
