The PGA investigates nominated works under the auspices of its Rules and Procedures for Accreditation to determine which producers performed the bulk of producing functions from development through production and post-production.

If a specific credited producer thought he or she was excluded after the accreditation process, that producer was entitled to file a formal appeal for inclusion, which would have been adjudicated by the PGA Accreditation Committee.
