2015年10月30 日，国际会计师公会被任命为英联邦认证组织。英联邦通常被描述为一个民族和人民的“大家庭”。在超过80个社会团体、机构、协会、组织和慈善机构的网络中为明显。这些机构都致力于改善人民的生活。
英联邦认证由政府成员国组成的认证委员会进行认证。认证提供正式认可，证明该组织以《联邦宪章》中英联邦的价值观和原则为标准，还需要遵守一系列代表英联邦名誉的权利和责任。
随着英联邦的成立，国际会计师公会也随之成立，而且公会会员仍以英联邦居多。因此，英联邦的认证给予AIA全球会员额外的认可和支持，也提供了进一步发展的机会。作为认证组织，国际会计师公会将与英联邦在涉及会计、金融和教育等相关项目上进行合作，分享知识。
国际会计师公会的申请表明了公会在英国的地位，也见证了公会证明其致力于促进民主与治理、人权和法治、性别平等和经济社会可持续发展的基本原则。
国际会计师公会总裁莱斯·布拉德利说：“AIA的教育和培训标准高，AIA会员要求严格，二者都与英联邦的目标一致。我很高兴AIA的联邦认证申请已经批准。我们贯彻英联邦的基本原则，通过AIA的理念和框架即可体现。我们期待与英联邦携手共同支持AIA在英联邦的工作与发展。”
AIA OAINS COMMONWEALTH ACCREDITATION
The Association of International Accountants (AIA) was approved as a designated Commonwealth accredited organisation on 30 October 2015.
The Commonwealth is often described as a 'family' of nations and peoples. This is most apparent in the network of more than 80 societies, institutions, associations, organisations and charities that work towards improving people's lives.
Accreditation to the Commonwealth is carried out by the Accreditation Committee, which is formed of a subset of member governments. Accreditation provides formal recognition and demonstrates that the organisation is committed to the Values and Principles of the Commonwealth, as outlined in the Commonwealth Charter, and entails adherence to a set of rights and responsibilities in representing the
Commonwealth name and brand.
AIA was founded along Commonwealth lines and its membership profile is still most present in those countries, therefore accreditation by The Commonwealth gives additional recognition and support to AIA’s global membership and also presents further development opportunities. As an Accredited Organisation, AIA will collaborate on relevant projects, share knowledge and engage on topics relating to accountancy, finance and education throughout the Commonwealth.
The application examined AIA’s presence throughout the Commonwealth and looked at how AIA demonstrated its commitment to the fundamental principles to promote democracy and good governance, human rights and the rule of law, gender equality and sustainable economic and social development.
AIA President, Les Bradley, said: “AIA’s high standards of education and training, its rigorous membership requirements and adherence to best practice work alongside the Commonwealth’s objectives and goals and I am delighted that AIA’s application for Commonwealth Accreditation has been approved. We share the Commonwealth’s fundamental principles, which can be seen throughout AIA’s ethos and fundamental framework, and look forward to working together to support those principles throughout AIA’s work and development in those countries.”
