With the entry into force of Law 2\/2023<\/strong>, whistleblowing channels<\/strong> have come to occupy a prominent place in the compliance programs of many companies. It is no longer simply a matter of having a mailbox in place to receive internal reports, but of implementing a system that genuinely works, protects the whistleblower, and makes it possible to handle misconduct with due safeguards.<\/p>\n

Within this new framework, the AIPI<\/strong> has become a key figure. But what exactly is the AIPI, and what kind of recommendations does it issue?<\/p>\n

What the AIPI is and why it is so important<\/h2>\n

The Independent Whistleblower Protection Authority (Autoridad Independiente de Protecci\u00f3n del Informante \u2013 AIPI)<\/strong> is the body created in Spain to protect individuals who report wrongdoing and to strengthen public integrity, fraud prevention, and anti-corruption efforts. It also acts in coordination with other supervisory authorities and helps to consolidate a culture of transparency in the public sector.<\/p>\n

Within the framework of Law 2\/2023<\/strong>, the AIPI not only plays a role through the external reporting channel<\/strong> but also serves as a benchmark for the design and operation of internal whistleblowing channels<\/a>, particularly regarding confidentiality, independence, and whistleblower protection.<\/p>\n
