CIFSO 5000 Certification

A network of independent auditors, not an obligation.

CIFSO 5000 certification is independent: Aegryn assesses and grades the quality of organisations without relying on imposed auditors. Independent professionals may be engaged to deepen any of the five dimensions.

We remain open to applications from independent experts wishing to back the certification or join our network, available on demand before, during and after a certification or support mandate.
