The ACCA Educational Institute (ACCA-EI) is one of over a hundred organizations that develops standards and supports the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). ANSI approval of ACCA manuals, procedures and processes verifies that the principles of openness and due process have been followed in developing these materials, and that a consensus of those directly affected by the standards has been achieved.
ACCA’s ANSI standards activity is overseen by our Standards Task Team, which forms subcommittees as needed to oversee specific standards development. The process is open and you are encouraged to get involved; for more information, contact Dick Shaw at dick.shaw@acca.org.
