In the spirit of continuous improvement, AACSB, through its volunteer committee network, annually reviews accreditation standards and processes. The Accreditation Quality Committee (AQC) has the responsibility to review the standards and their interpretations based on feedback from peer review teams, accreditation committees, deans, and discussions at AACSB conferences and seminars. The Accreditation Coordinating Committee (ACC) conducts similar reviews with a focus on accreditation processes. In January each year, the work of these two committees results in modifications to the standards documents and related handbooks, forms, and related to processes.

This memorandum summarizes the actions of AQC and ACC during 2007-08 that are now implemented for all AACSB reviews going forward.
