Irish Institute of Pensions Managers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Irish Institute of Pensions Managers (IIPM) provides nationally recognized professional certifications[1] in the field of pensions management based out of Dublin in Ireland. It was founded in 1990 as a limited liability company as a sister organization to Pensions Management Institute in the United Kingdom. The Office of the Pension Ombudsman in Ireland mentions IIPM's primary objective is "to promote professionalism amongst those working in the field of pensions, with a particular emphasis on education."[2] The current President of IIPM is Pauline Killeen.[3]
