A listing of foreign credential evaluation services are listed through the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services website (NACES) website. ACCA members and future members have utilized the following organizations in the USA:

Depending on the purpose of your education evaluation, some evaluation organizations are the preferred organization. Check with the State Board of Accountancy or educational institute to help determine which evaluation organization to choose. To assist with selecting a foreign credential evaluation service, the NAFSA: Association of International Educators has developed a useful guide. 

When seeking an education evaluation, we recommend that you submit a copy of the ACCA syllabus with your application, as well as information concerning ACCA’s Recognition.
