Navigating the Proposed Global Standards and 2026 Accounting Accreditation Standards
The Proposed Global Standards for Business Education™ and 2026 Accounting Accreditation Standards represent a significant evolution in how quality, impact, and accountability are defined across business and accounting education.
This conference provides a timely forum for institutions to explore the implications of the proposed standards for accreditation planning and continuous improvement. Discussions will consider how emerging expectations may influence strategy, processes, evidence planning, stakeholder engagement, and how institutions demonstrate impact.
As these standards are expected to be brought forward for a vote at AACSB’s International Conference And Meetings (ICAM) , this conference offers an opportunity for early reflection and shared understanding ahead of formal adoption.
