About this Unit

Air Force Audit Agency

U.S. Air Force

The Air Force Audit Agency (AFAA) was established in 1948 as a separate agency within the Department of the Air Force, following the creation of the United States Air Force as an independent service. Its primary mission is to provide audit services, evaluating the efficiency, effectiveness, and economy of Air Force programs and operations. Over the decades, the AFAA has played a crucial role in ensuring financial stewardship, accountability, and transparency within the Air Force by identifying risks and recommending improvements. The agency continues to support Air Force leadership by delivering independent, objective assessments that enhance mission readiness and resource management.
