The AACI (American Anti-Corruption Institute) is a professional institute founded in 2012 and based in Tempe, Arizona. It was established to empower middle and upper management through a certification process to combat fraud and corruption in a conscious, proactive, efficient, and effective manner. The AACI believes that decision makers should always possess anti-corruption intelligence, as management is often the weakest link in anti-corruption efforts.

Despite the abundance of literature on the role of management in fighting fraud and corruption, no other organization or school offers specific and disciplined education and approaches to engage middle and upper management in the anti-corruption process. The AACI offers a comprehensive range of services, including membership, certification, continuing professional education (CPE), training, events, and research publications. Their certification program, Certified Anti-Corruption Manager (CACM), equips members with cutting-edge knowledge and skills to combat fraud and corruption.

Additionally, the AACI conducts global research to refine their educational and training programs. They also collaborate with progressive institutions in academia, private sectors, and government sectors to achieve impactful results. The AACI's mission is to empower and create a culture of integrity in organizations, with a strong emphasis on the importance of ethical management practices
