AIPIA institutional due diligence dossier

It is the page that gathers, in a single place, the information that a purchasing office, an institutional partner, a public body or a newsroom verify before working with AIPIA: identity and contacts, the registers in which the association appears, the governing bodies in office, the documents, the members figure and the matters in progress. It also says what its credentials are and are not, and each item carries the address where it can be verified.

AIPIA appears with verifiable codes in the GLEIF system (LEI), in the Participant Register and in the Organisation Registration System of the European Commission (PIC and OID), in the Transparency Register of the European Union and in Wikidata, each with the date of the last probe. It is a Participant in the European AI Alliance, an Official Endorser of the Rome Call for AI Ethics, a full member of UNINFO, and it awards European Digital Credentials; each line of the table links to where the data is verified.

AIPIA is a professional association constituted under Law 4/2013, the Italian law that regulates the professions not organised in orders or colleges: it means that the association has a statute, a code of ethics, governing bodies, continuing education and a consumer help desk. It publishes the information the law requires; it does not mean a public recognition or a certification of the association.

The bodies of AIPIA are the four provided for by Article 6 of the Statute, among them the Board and the Scientific-Technical Committee, and the composition in office of both is published on the Italian page of the bodies and offices. The offices last five years and the renewal follows the procedure described on the Italian renewal page: candidacies proposed by the members with thirty days notice and resolution of the assembly.

No: AIPIA awards European Digital Credentials that document a completed training path, verifiable on Europass and signed with an electronic seal; the certification of skills under the UNI 11621-8 standard follows the ISO/IEC 17024 scheme and belongs to accredited certification bodies, which AIPIA is not. The distinction between attestation, credential and certification is explained term by term on the Italian page dedicated to it.

The open matters are listed with their state in the Identity and identifiers registry and reported here: among them the entry in the list of the Italian Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy, the assessment of the entry in the national register of the third sector and the linking of the ISBN codes to the volumes of the AIPIA Studies series, now that the publisher prefix is assigned. Until a matter is concluded the site describes it as in progress; when it is concluded, the registry changes first.

Each line of the table of registers carries the link to the record of the entity when it is public and responds, otherwise to the public search of the entity where anyone checks the data; the date of the last verification, one for the whole dossier, is at the top of the page. For clarifications, documents on request or a formal verification one writes to the secretariat, or to the certified email address of the association.
