The ACP is an impartial evaluation. The registration process is in no way linked to these activities. It is important to note that recognition is not an endorsement of any a single associate consultant, and does not indicate that using an ACP-listed organization would make the certification audit any easier for the client, but is to help to contribute to the clean up in the consulting industry by providing a list of consultants who BSI believes are credible and offer an acceptable service in terms of value and performance.
