There is, however, the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), which is a regional accrediting agency in the United States. It's a significant organization in higher education accreditation, but it doesn't use the name "American Association for Higher Education and Accreditation". There are also many other regional and national accrediting bodies in the US.
If you encountered this name somewhere, it's likely a mistake or a misunderstanding. You might want to double-check your source.
