The Association of Airport Internal Auditors, Inc. (AAIA) was created in 1989 to specifically address the unique needs of airport auditors around the world. We all face auditing the same common airport operations: parking systems, airlines, rental cars, and other concessions. What we have done is pool our resources and experiences to make us all more effective and efficient. In over 35 years, our membership has grown to represent more than 60 airport members from across the globe, including places such as Kenya, Hong Kong, Canada, and the United States. With over 250 registrants, the AAIA has more than 100 Certified Public Accountants and 80 Certified Internal Auditors. We have also hosted over 35 conferences, where our members network with other airport internal auditors, learn from industry experts, and earn valuable NASBA approved CPE credits at a low cost. In addition to the annual conference, the AAIA is the conduit to the Forum - an online message board, where members-only can ask questions of other members, respond to surveys, and exchange posts. Free members-only webinars are also provided, with NASBA approved CPE credits.
