An integrated national professional organization that is accredited and recognized by the corresponding Board and the Professional Regulations Commission is referred to as which?

• A. Accredited Professional Organization
• B. Recognized Professional Association
• C. Accredited Professional Association
• D. Accredited and Recognized Professional Organization

Answer: (A)

The main idea is regulatory status: a national professional body that is both approved and acknowledged by the Board and the Professional Regulations Commission is referred to as an Accredited Professional Organization. Accreditation shows the organization meets established standards set by the regulators, while recognition from the Board and PRC confirms its authority and legitimacy for representing the profession. The term Accredited Professional Organization is the standard designation that conveys both forms of endorsement in one concise label. Other options either shift wording (organization vs association) or imply only one form of endorsement, not the combined status described.
