The Academy offers standardized and customized training, academic degree programs, opportunities for dialogue and engagement, and an anti-corruption think tank and benchmarking activities.

The organization was initiated by Interpol, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, the European Anti-Fraud Office, the Republic of Austria and other interested parties. It became an international organization on March 8, 2011 and currently has 78 parties.

The Parliament of Turkmenistan approved the country’s accession to the Agreement on the establishment of the International Anti-Corruption Academy as an international organization in October 2023.
