Who We Are:
The American Institute of CLOUD Auditors (AiCA) is a public benefit corporation that is the world's leader in formulating standards, principles, rules, and methods for navigating the 21st century IT auditing challenges. Our proprietary auditing framework provides guidance for auditing business and government financial operations in the CLOUD ecosystem. Our members - who include academics, investors, and the public at large - have dedicated valuable resources to working in the interest of the global community, and our team of IT professionals, academicians, and CPAs work to develop the books, courseware, and technical publications that inform our members thorough training programs. Our Goals: Firstly, we want to ensure the accuracy of financial statements that are generated in the CLOUD because the global public community relies on financial statements to make investment decisions. To this end, we have developed a standardize framework for auditing financial statements in the CLOUD. This comprehensive framework establishes clear guidelines for auditors while maintaining SOX, GDPR, SOC, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS compliance. Secondly, the AiCA is dedicated to advancing the knowledge of regulators, IT managers, accounting professionals, business leaders, government agencies, and academics in the area of CLOUD auditing. This includes, offering training courses, for current auditors, publishing text books to help change existing auditing curricula at colleges and universities, and educating students firsthand in academic institution and classes. Thirdly, the AiCA wants to act as a bridge between financial auditors and software developers. This multifaceted goal includes, on the one hand, reviewing and evaluating electronic tools so that manufacturers can determine how well these tools fit into a larger auditing framework. On the other hand, it includes keeping auditors well informed when they select tools for their IT auditing practices and fieldwork. To do so, we maintain a rigorous process of assessing the relevance of automated testing tools in evidence gathering, auditing analysis, system testing, computer forensic investigations, continuous auditing, and continuous monitoring in the CLOUD ecosystem. We also publish a list of relevant auditing tools and platforms that can provide utility in the financial statement auditing process.
