Aprio Gains ANAB Accreditation to Certify Organizations Against ISO/IEC 42001 AI Governance Standard
Aprio has received accreditation from the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) to independently certify organizations against ISO/IEC 42001, an international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems. This expansion of Aprio's assurance practice allows it to apply its established certification infrastructure and discipline—previously used for standards like ISO/IEC 27001—to the growing field of AI governance. As organizations increasingly integrate AI into core operations, there is a rising demand for accountability, trustworthiness, and auditability. The accreditation confirms Aprio's competence in delivering consistent and impartial certification services aligned with international requirements. Organizations certified under ISO/IEC 42001 can demonstrate their ability to manage ethical, technical, and organizational AI risks effectively. According to Powell Jones, a Risk Advisory Partner at Aprio, this development enables clients to streamline compliance efforts while focusing on growth and innovation. The certification complements existing audits like SOC and ISO reviews that many organizations already conduct.
