The IOAS structure is designed to deliver the same integrity, representation and accountability that we look for and encourage in our clients. The structure and its operation are overseen by various independent bodies. IOAS is incorporated in the USA as a 501 (c) (6) non-profit organisation. Our Board, Committees and staff are based in sixteen countries.
Board
The Board of Directors is the highest decision-making body of the organisation.
Committees
The IOAS Board has appointed two decision-making committees to distance the task of making decisions on accreditation from the non-technical aspects of the organisation.
Staff
Although with a headquarters in the USA, IOAS has always operated a virtual office with staff members being appointed for their knowledge and skills without concern for their being able to work in a certain geographical location.
External Contractors
IOAS collaborates with a number of external experts who assist us on specialist topics during assessments or support us more generally.
