AmeriCorp

AmeriCorp, Inc. Recommended for ISO Certification
Syosset, NY - February 27, 2003

Today a team of independent auditors recommended AmeriCorp, Inc. for ISO certification. ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation that has devised standards of quality management with extremely high focus on customer and creditor satisfaction. The recommendation appeared in a report compiled from the BSI auditors' initial assessment held February 25-27, 2003, less than six months after AmeriCorp began its official preparations for the rigorous evaluation. The report cited a "strong management commitment to QMS (Quality Management System)" and remarked that "although a very new system it was evident that it was also a very effective one." The auditors also delved into data processing, agency and creditor services, customer service, financial reporting and MIS, commenting that all these processes were "well-established and implemented with effective monitors and measurables in place."

The ISO is expected to issue its certification within a few weeks of receiving the report. Although very exacting preparations were needed to comply with ISO standards, AmeriCorp's rapid achievement indicates a commitment to quality that pre-dated its adaptation of the international standard.
