Accreditation Positions Armanino as a Trusted Certification Firm for the World’s First AI Management Standard
SAN RAMON, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#AI—Armanino, one of the nation’s largest accounting and consulting firms, today announced that Armanino Certified LLC has been accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) as a certification body for ISO/IEC 42001:2023, the world’s first global standard defining an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS) for organizations that develop, produce, provide, or use artificial intelligence.
ISO 42001 establishes a comprehensive and certifiable framework to help organizations build, implement, maintain, and continually improve governance and oversight for AI systems. An ISO 42001 certification highlights a firm’s commitment to ensuring responsible, ethical, and trustworthy deployment of this rapidly advancing technology.
“This accreditation reinforces our commitment to helping organizations navigate AI with confidence, transparency, and trust,” said Matt Armanino, CEO of Armanino Advisory LLC. “AI is transforming every sector, and companies need a structured, dependable framework to ensure they are deploying it responsibly. This is not only important to the business but its clients and vendors, and we are proud to support organizations in demonstrating their commitment to safe and ethical AI.”
As AI becomes foundational to business processes, customer experiences, and decision-making, ISO 42001 serves as the cornerstone for organizations seeking to mitigate risk, strengthen governance, and build trust with clients, stakeholders, regulators, and the public. Certification to the standard confirms adherence to globally accepted principles of security, privacy, quality, and responsible innovation.
In November, Armanino issued its first ISO 42001 certification to Embark Consulting, marking a significant milestone in advancing responsible AI practices across the industry.
“Working with Armanino on the ISO 42001 certification marks a defining milestone in our AI journey. Their meticulous review and clear guidance ensured we were able to demonstrate the strength of our AI governance program. As AI becomes integral to our work and our clients’ futures, this certification reflects our dedication to responsible innovation and the highest levels of stewardship,” said Joey LoSurdo, President at Embark.
With the addition of ISO 42001, Armanino expands its suite of ISO certification services and deepens its role as a trusted leader in AI governance, cybersecurity, and risk management.
