Initial Accounting Accreditation

Initial Accreditation for accounting functions similarly to business. The process follows the successful completion of the Accounting Accreditation Eligibility Application and the PreAccreditation Process. Initial Accounting Accreditation includes the Accounting Accreditation Committee’s (AAC) review of the Standards Alignment Plan and suggestions for its modification. Initial Accreditation must be achieved within five years of the AAC’s acceptance of the Standards Alignment Plan. Having achieved Initial Accreditation, the school is placed in a five-year Maintenance Review cycle.
