About

The International Board of Standards (IBS) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) in the United States and has entered into a formal cooperation agreement with the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP). These agreements aim to facilitate dialogue and collaborative initiatives related to quality practices in education. They do not constitute or imply accreditation, mutual recognition, or approval by CHEA or ACBSP unless explicitly specified within the respective agreements.

IBS holds ISO 29990 and ISO 21001 certifications, which relate to standards for learning services and educational organization management systems. These ISO certifications demonstrate compliance with international quality frameworks but do not serve as academic accreditation or governmental recognition.

IBS, through its affiliated bodies such as the Global Academy of Finance and Management (GAFM) and the American Academy of Project Management (AAPM), states that it maintains cooperative relationships with various business schools and training institutions worldwide. Such relationships are not equivalent to institutional or programmatic accreditation and must be evaluated according to local regulatory frameworks and national education authorities.

ECLBS Accreditation:

The European Council of Leading Business Schools (ECLBS) was established in 2013 as a professional network connecting business schools across Europe and beyond. In 2023, during a strategic board meeting held at the University of Latvia in Riga, the Council approved the launch of ECLBS Accreditation—a quality assurance label designed for business schools committed to academic excellence and international standards.
