AASBI accredits the business degree programs of Colleges, Departments and Schools of Business ("the Schools"). Accreditation of critically acclaimed Schools is in the public interest.

The AASBI accreditation process is effective, taking several months to complete rather than years. Accreditation begins with a form letter to the AASBI (see Sample MS Word | Sample PDF) and the submission of a Statement of Educational Conditons prepared in accordance and compliance with Generallly Accepted Education Principles (GAEP).

This principle-based Statement of Educational Conditions in prescribed format along with a checklist and a directors' report is audited by a firm of public accountants in the School's country in accordance with Generally Accepted Educational Standards on Auditing (GAESA). The audit may be combined with the annual financial statement audit.

Following review of the School's Statement of Educational Conditions and the auditor's report, the Board of Directors decides within 90 days to accredit the School, to request additional information/conditions, or withhold accreditation. The AASBI's accreditation certificate is awarded at the end of a successful site visit to the School by two delegates of the Board of Directors.

Except for out-of-pocket expenses, the AASBI does not charge accreditation fees; it welcomes a financial contribution within the discretion and means of the School.
