The Board of Directors consists of office bearers:
The appointed Authorised Representative of each Full Member has voting rights. All other types of Members or representatives of Members may attend and speak at ACCA meetings and conferences but they shall have no voting rights and are unable to be nominated for a position on the Board.
The ACCA Annual General Meeting is usually held in conjunction with the Annual ACCA Conference.
Each Director is elected for a term of three (3) years, and at the expiration of that term may re-nominate for a position as a Director except that the ACCA President and the Vice-President may not serve consecutive terms in the same position
