           The IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) Programme is an
    internationally recognized and accepted evaluation system designed to
    assess the operational management and control systems of an airline.
    IOSA uses internationally recognised quality audit principles, and is
    designed so that audits are conducted in a standardised and consistent
    manner.

           Inherent in the IOSA Programme is a degree of quality, integrity and
    security such that mutually interested airlines and regulators can all
    comfortably accept IOSA audit reports. As a result, the industry will be in
    a position to achieve the benefits of cost-efficiency through a significant
    reduction in audit redundancy.

           With the implementation and international acceptance of IOSA,
    airlines and regulators will achieve the following benefits:
    •        The establishment of the first internationally recognized operational
    audit standards
    •        A reduction of costs and audit resource requirements for airlines
    and regulators
    •        Continuous updating of standards to reflect regulatory revisions
    and the evolution of best practices within the industry
    •        A quality audit programme under the continuing stewardship of
    IATA
    •        Accredited audit organisations with formally trained and qualified
    auditors
    •        Accredited training organisations with structured auditor training
    courses
    •        A structured audit methodology, including standardized checklists
    •        Elimination of audit redundancy through mutual acceptance of
    audit reports
    •        Development of auditor training courses for the airline industry
