HQAI is a non-profit non-government organisation established as an association in Geneva, according to Swiss laws. To all its stakeholders, HQAI is an accountable, open and trustworthy partner applying the internationally recognised principles of auditing - such as impartiality, competence, responsibility, openness, confidentiality and responsiveness to complaints. The set-up of HQAI's governance reflects these principles. The main corporate bodies are listed below: 1/ General Assembly of Members: The General Assembly (GA) of Members is the supreme authority of the organisation. As of 01 December 2018 HQAI’s membership is comprised of 16 members ( the maximum being 25 individuals). 2/ Board of Directors: The Board of Directors is comprised of members of the Humanitarian Quality Assurance Initiative.

Its responsibilities include the handling of complaints made to or about HQAI, as well as safeguarding the rules of impartiality, confidentiality and avoiding conflicts of interests in the work of HQAI. The members of the Advisory and Complaint Board collectively represent solid knowledge and competencies in the fields of CHS, quality assurance and mediation. 4/ Secretariat: The Secretariat is responsible for managing the organisation’s activities and financial operations and implementing the organisations overall objectives through the agreed to strategy.
