UAE Joins Executive Board of Global Anti-Corruption Authority
IAACA serves as a platform for facilitating collaboration among anti-corruption authorities worldwide.
The UAE has been elected to the Executive Board of the International Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities (IAACA), a global body representing more than 180 countries and supporting the UN Convention against Corruption. The decision was made during IAACA’s first council meeting of 2025.
The UAE Accountability Authority, which will now play a direct role in shaping international anti-corruption strategies, stated that the board membership will allow the country to promote transparency, exchange expertise, and contribute to global efforts to strengthen institutional integrity.
This appointment follows a series of recent international recognitions. In September 2024, the UAE was elected to both the Steering Committee of the GlobE Network—an initiative under the UN Office on Drugs and Crime—and the Executive Board of the Asian Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (ASOSAI), highlighting its growing role in global governance and audit networks.
IAACA serves as a platform for facilitating collaboration among anti-corruption authorities worldwide, offering a framework for implementing preventive policies, information sharing, and capacity building.
