Currently, over 160 ACAs from different countries and jurisdictions have joined IAACA as members.

In January 2022, Mr Simon Peh, then-Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Hong Kong, China (Hong Kong ICAC), was elected as the President of IAACA and Hong Kong ICAC took over the office of the IAACA Secretariat at the same time.[2]
