Accredited Vendor Policies

As part of this ongoing effort, we have updated our program policies to serve our accredited vendors and stakeholders better. We strongly encourage all interested applicants to thoroughly review and understand these policies to ensure a full understanding of the policies accredited vendors are required to follow.

To assist you, we have made all the necessary information readily available. We recommend you take the time to familiarize yourself with these before applying.

Use the drop-down menu below to review each policy associated with this program.

The Vendor Accreditation Insurance Policy intends to ensure that the Accredited Vendor has insurance and risk mitigation practices to reasonably protect its business, its employees, ACCT, and the general public that benefits from their services. 
The Vendor Accreditation Fees and Dues Policy outlines when annual accreditation fees and membership dues are to be paid and the repercussions should they not be paid on time.

This policy verifies that the Accredited Vendor has qualified personnel in all the services it is accredited for. Should any changes to leadership or qualified personnel occur, the vendor must submit documentation for the new individual(s). 

This policy is to verify that the Accredited Vendor, who has undergone a sale or transfer of ownership, meets all the criteria for accreditation in all previously accredited services.

If the business's operation significantly changes under new ownership, this could trigger an on-site audit.
