Built for Accreditation. Designed for Precision.
Accreditation requirements for accounting and finance programs often differ from those of general business programs. That’s why we offer a solution with a robust selection of accounting and finance topics, making it easy to align your assessment efforts with your program outcomes.
Our Accounting & Finance Assessment is an online, customizable assessment tool that measures student knowledge at the program level for US-based institutions. As a normed, summative, direct assessment, it provides objective results relative to the exam’s difficulty and aligned with accreditor expectations. It supports both assurance of learning and continuous improvement.
You’ll get actionable data through detailed reports, benchmarking, and optional entry (Inbound) and exit (Outbound) testing to track learning over time. No proctoring is required, setup is simple and supported, and the assessment is available for associate, bachelor, and graduate degree levels. As part of a broader assessment plan, it helps bring precision and clarity to how you measure student success.
Accreditor Alignment
Reporting that Drives Progress
Our 14 ready-to-use reports provide the insights you need to prepare for the accreditation cycle, drive progress, and close the loop. Whether you're reviewing curriculum, presenting to executive leadership and stakeholders, or submitting for accreditation, your data is ready when you need it.
- Internal Reports: Measure overall program-level performance.
- External Reports: Benchmark results against peer institutions.
- Individual Reports: Track each student’s performance and growth.
- Comparative Reports: Compare results across student groups and time periods to uncover trends and gaps.
In addition to your 14 reports, each student receives a Learner Assessment Report that shows how they performed and how they compare to reinforce what they’ve learned and how far they’ve come.

Inbound/Outbound Assessment Construct
Peregrine’s Inbound/Outbound assessment construct measures student learning from the beginning to the end of a program. This approach provides a more complete understanding of student achievement.
While many institutions choose to implement both assessments to track growth over time, the model is flexible, and you can use just an Outbound assessment if a single measure better fits your program needs.
"I think two of the most important aspects of the Peregrine assessment program starts with the data is ours. For no additional charge, the data is ours to utilize as we wish. It provides the drill down into the topic areas that we can analyze for our use. The second aspect that is very helpful is the additional subject matter we can use for our programs. As we have developed our programs, we were able to utilize specialized content assessment that matches our curriculum. Again, at no extra charge. Our experience has been a huge benefit to our accreditation goals."
— Dr. Lawrence Byerly, Professor of Finance and Department Chair for the Business Administration Program at Thomas More University
