The distinction is that the VPAT is the incomplete form, and the ACR is the completed report using the VPAT template. The current VPAT has expanded to include the U.S. Revised Section 508, European EN 301 549, and WCAG standards which are required by regulations in many jurisdictions.

WCAG 1.0 is a set of guidelines for making web content more accessible to persons with disabilities.
The second revision of WCAG, WCAG 2.0, is composed of twelve guidelines, distilled following the four principles that Web content should adhere to: being Perceivable, Operable, Understandable and Robust. [15] W3C also provides a detailed checklist for this set of guidelines. [16]
Several other tools exist on the web, but check if they are up-to-date before using them. Several tools are based on WCAG 1.0's algorithm, while the reference is now WCAG 2.0's algorithm. If the tool doesn't specifically mention that it is based on WCAG 2.0, assume that it is outdated.
