The Association of International Accountants (AIA) is one of six statutorily Recognised Qualifying Bodies (RQBs) in the United Kingdom for company auditors under the Companies Act 1989. The other five being The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA); The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW); The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS); The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland (ICAI); and the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA). The AIA professional qualification is also recognised throughout the European Union and in other major financial centres around the world.
Based in the UK, the AIA was founded in 1928 and incorporated in London in 1932. The Association promotes and supports the advancement of the accountancy profession both in the UK and internationally. Whilst supporting international accounting and auditing standards the AIA seeks to ensure that its examinations and membership requirements support the development of the accountancy profession in the countries in which it examines.
The AIA's examinations for membership have been held half-yearly on a world wide basis for over 75 years. They may be orientated to national needs by the inclusion of alternative papers on local company law and taxation. There are optional papers available based on International Accounting Standards and also in Islamic Accounting. As an RQB under the UK Companies Act 1989 the AIA offers to students who take its examinations commencing in or after June 1991 and go on as members to complete special audit-based practical training under the AIA, an accountancy qualification which is recognised by the UK Government under that Act as a recognised professional qualification for company auditors in the UK.
