Self-Evaluation Report (Accounting) Submission Guidelines
Along with the Self-Evaluation Report, the Accounting Accreditation Committee (AAC) requests that you
prepare and submit a three to five-page Executive Summary. While the Peer Review Team reviews your
SER in preparation for the on-site review, the AAC relies upon the Executive Summary to develop a basis
for its reviews.
The Executive Summary should include:
1. A one paragraph to one page statement and written description of your mission and objectives;
2. Written descriptions of the processes that support achievement, the outcomes and
measurements associated with those processes, and how the processes and objectives may
have changed as a result of your efforts;

3. Describe the most significant strategies and outcomes related to Engagement, Innovation, and
Impact. Examples should include the outcomes linked to the mission and strategic plan. (For
additional information please refer to pages 42 through 44 in the eligibility criteria and
accreditation standards for accounting accreditation at
http://www.aacsb.edu/accreditation/standards/2013-accounting)
4. A written summary of self-assessed strengths and weaknesses as they relate to AACSB
International’s standards and the achievement of specific objectives;
5. How your strategic plan relates to your mission development activities; and,
6. A written section listing up to five effective practices, which are unique or inherent to the
success of your operations.
