Subsequent dismissals or changes must be reported within the ordinary ten-day period.<br>Groups of companies that appoint a single officer for all group entities will only need to submit one joint notification, without the need to do so individually for each entity.<br>Companies are advised to review their internal reporting channels, remain aware of the coexistence of AIPI\u2019s external channels and those of the autonomous communities, and adopt clear measures against retaliation towards whistleblowers.<br>It is essential to ensure compliance with Law 2\/2023, particularly with regard to the infringements set out in Title IX, as AIPI will have the authority to impose state-wide sanctions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Independent Authority for the Protection of Whistleblowers (AIPI) comes into operation Since 1 September 2025, the Independent Authority for the Protection of Whistleblowers (AIPI) has been operating in Spain, created pursuant to Law 2\/2023 and Directive (EU) 2019\/1937.
