The National Accreditation Commission (NAC) 

The National Accreditation Commission (NAC) is a senior AICPA committee made of up members from all segments of the profession formed to provide a means for formally identifying, recognizing, advocating, and supporting new areas of specialization that warrant an accreditation program.

Using a formal "screening process," the NAC will consider new or emerging services and market perception of the CPA's role in that service. Also, accreditation will be considered only where the potential market is large, economic benefit to CPAs is clear and timing can outpace any competition. The NAC will emphasize areas that will increase practice development opportunities to CPAs in public practice and advance the careers of CPAs employed in business and industry, education, government and other areas.

The NAC also works with the Accredited in Business Valuation (ABV) Credential Committee; the Certified in Financial Forensics (CFF) Credential Committee; the Certified Information Technology Professional (CITP) Credential Committee; and the Personal Financial Specialist (PFS) Credential Committee in considering ways to increase participation in the ABV, CFF, CITP, and PFS credential programs.
