Transparency & Openness

Accredo publishes its standards, inspection process, documents checklist, policies, and the register of accredited institutions — because an accreditor asking institutions to evidence their claims must evidence its own.

What is published

The ten Accredo Standards, in full, with the grading scale used in reports
The eight-stage inspection process and the evidence checklist
The public register of accredited institutions, candidates, members, and affiliates
All governing policies, including appeals and complaints
Official advisories, including the notice on organisations falsely claiming Accredo association

What is not published, and why

Full inspection reports are shared with the inspected institution; summary reports are available on request via the register, balancing openness with the candour institutions need to disclose weaknesses during review. Fee quotations are institution-specific and confidential, but the fee policy — fixed written quotation, full-cycle coverage, no hidden charges — is public and binding.
