Additional Program Fees

In addition to purchasing the IS-BAO and HAI-APS manuals, you will need to pay for on-site audit. To ensure our members receive the lowest possible prices, we have established a standard audit pricing guide. The auditors performing the IS-BAO and HAI-APS Audit will charge the operator directly for their time based on the size and complexity of your operation. The price guide will be used when charging an operator for audit expenses. The cost is inclusive of all manual reviews, coordination, and the audit itself. Auditor travel and per diem allowances shall follow US Government GSA (Domestic USA) and US Department of State (foreign) guidelines and will be added to the final invoice to the HAI Regular Operating Member.

HAI reserves the right to adjust the fee based on special circumstances and will justify any deviations from the schedule accordingly.
