Purpose
The Accreditation Quality Committee (AQC) recommends changes in standards, policies, and procedures that will allow AACSB to maintain global leadership in business and accounting accreditation.

Structure
The Accreditation Quality Committee is comprised of a minimum of six members and a maximum of 12 members, plus a Chair appointed by the Board Vice Chair-Chair Elect. One member of the committee will be chosen by the Board Vice Chair-Chair Elect to serve as Vice Chair of the committee.  The Chair is a business or accounting administrator from an AACSB accredited institution. Committee members may be present and former institutional administrators from AACSB accredited institutions, present and former business and accounting administrators from AACSB accredited institutions, as well as faculty members from accredited institutions and corporate executives.  The composition of the committee at all times includes a minimum of one-third of its members (and either the Chair or Vice Chair) with experience in accounting education or professional accounting.  Committee members serve staggered three-year terms.  Normally the AQC Chair serves two consecutive one-year terms.
