The American Council on Education, the major coordinating body for all the nation's higher education institutions, seeks to provide leadership and a unifying voice on key higher education issues and to influence public policy through advocacy, research, and program initiatives.
For the benefit of those who pass these exams and courses, the American Payroll Association participates in the American Council on Education's (ACE) Transcript Service. This service enables adult learners to present a nationally recognized transcript to the college or university of their choice for the potential award of academic credit.
