ABOUT US

Monitoring and independent assessments are our only business

Founded in 2004, Affiliated Monitors, Inc. (“AMI”) was the first company in the United States to focus on providing top-quality, independent integrity monitoring and assessment services across a wide range of regulated industries and professions. What distinguishes our professionals from others is that monitoring is our only business; it is not a sideline to some other professional practice or service.

AMI has been the corporate integrity monitor in more than 850 matters, involving large multi-national companies and individual practitioners. We maintain our neutrality, free from the conflicts of interest and undue influence which can arise in certain personal or business relationships.
