FIBAA Accreditation ProcedureFIBAA works with teams generally consisting of four consultants: two from the academic sphere, one from industry, and one student. Each team as well as the entire process are coordinated and guided by a FIBAA project manager.The teams survey quality of the individual programmes and formulate an appraisal on the basis of a two-stage analysis: First the institution of higher education institution compiles a self-documentation on the basis of an assessment checklist containing around 80 quality criteria. Then the team of consultants assesses consistency, plausibility, and conformity of the supplied documents, supporting documents, and systematics on the basis of Länder-specific, national, and international guidelines and specifications. After this the programme will be surveyed in situ: Through numerous interviews and sample surveys the team of consultants forms a comprehensive picture of the programme, the involvement, and the contribution of all participants. Next to relevant national norms and regulations the final assessment of the programme takes into account the international standards (European standards and guidelines of the ENQA, EQUAL-MBA-Guidelines) as well as the special quality requirements of the FIBAA. In this each quality requirement is specified in a clear definition and characterized as top “benchmark”. In order to ensure that FIBAA’s standards are up-to date, quality requirements and “benchmarks“ are permanently surveyed by science and economy. The profile for the audit and assessment of a study programme is built upon minimum standards, the baseline, which reflects weaknesses, while the ratings above this baseline clearly indicate strengths. The consultant’s report resulting from this audit and assessment will form the basis for the decision of the FIBAA-accreditation commission concerning the accreditation, conditional accreditation, suspension of the process, or the denial. Multiple TransparencyThe result of the audit and assessment will be an integrated report on and appraisal of the study programme. On the basis of the evaluated individual criteria a FIBAA-specific, well-founded, and significant quality profile of the audited and assessed study programme will be issued. For this reason the FIBAA-qualityseal has been enforced.The results of the accreditation, including a short report and quality profile, will be published on the FIBAA-web-page as well as in the German “Hochschulkompass” of the HRK (German rectors Conference). This way transparency, comparability, and orientation of the respective study programmes on offer will be ensured – also on the international scale. Prospective students, employers, and sponsors, and, besides these, responsible ministries as well as last but not least the institutions of higher education themselves will obtain clear feedback on the quality of the offer for further training. From the higher education institution’s submission of the self-documentation to the decision of the FIBAA accreditation commission it generally takes 4-6 month, subject to the positive development of the process. In addition to this, the higher education institution should reckon a realistic time frame to compile the self-documentation. Collective AccreditationIt goes without saying that FIBAA also conducts collective accreditation of several courses. The strong focus on economic science and business administration has been broadened to gradually include law and social sciences. In order to provide a holistic spectrum of services across systems and subjects, and in order to offer learly structured services at a favourable price, FIBAA cooperates with accreditation agencies which compliment their core competences sensibly:
