Nonprofit Word of the Day: FQMS

FQMS stands for the Fiduciary Quality Management System.

That’s a mouthful – and it’s something pretty important you should know about. (It’s also four words, so you get a bonus this time!)

 

The Fiduciary Quality Management System (FQMS) 

From: www.fi360.com

The Fiduciary Quality Management System (FQMS) is a framework for addressing fiduciary responsibilities in the investment process. Developed by CEFEX, it is modeled after the International Standards Organization (ISO) 9000 Standard for Quality Management Systems which stresses a process-driven approach and the concept of continual improvement. Four major steps comprise the FQMS: Organize, Formalize, Implement and Monitor.


Understanding and implementing this System is extremely valuable and puts you directly on the path to Fiduciary Excellence.
