ASSESSMENT REPORT. The assessment report is the outcome of the work of the review team and the accreditation organizations will make their decisions based upon the information in this report. NVAO and AACSB do accept a joint report, however, for the purpose of consistency, AACSB does require that the team follows the AACSB prescribed reporting outline. This report may include specific NVAO sections, as long as this is clearly indicated, and the report enables both boards/committees to make a substantiated decision. In the case of a joint team report all topics (standards) from both frameworks should be discussed. The NVAO grants accreditation per program. Therefore, the report needs to state a judgment per program. Furthermore, the NVAO assessment framework prescribes the need for a judgment per standard (meets the standard, partially meets the standard, or does not meet the standard) and per programme (positive, conditionally positive, negative). For NVAO to decide on accreditation the panel needs to state and motivate these judgments in the report. In addition, a substantive summary of the report needs to be added to the report. It is important to note that the reports used by the NVAO as the basis for its decision, are published on the NVAO website for any stakeholder to access and read. At least all sections of the report regarding NVAO standards, will be published. A format for this report will be provided. Institutions agree to the publication of the assessment report when opting for the joint process.
