AIGAS Vendor Transparency Programme

Get your product listed in the accounting sector’s AI transparency directory.

This page is for software vendors. Learn how listings work, see a sample profile, and register interest in becoming a founding participant. Firms browsing the directory should visit the Vendor Directory instead.

Transparency, not endorsement

What the programme is, and what it is not.

The programme is a disclosure framework. It does not certify that a product is safe, or endorse it as a good fit for your firm. Those judgements remain with the firm.

What we say

“This vendor has provided evidence of their AI governance controls.”

Firms can compare disclosures in a consistent format and make their own informed decisions.

What we do NOT say

“This software is safe.”

The programme is not a safety guarantee, seal of approval, or endorsement. Responsibility for tool selection remains with the firm.

What a listing tells firms

The answers accountants are already asking for.

Right now, firms are working out AI governance without knowing what their own software is doing. Every vendor listing answers the questions that matter.

Q.01

Does the product use AI, and where?

Q.02

Which AI models and providers are used?

Q.03

Is client data used to train models?

Q.04

Can AI features be disabled by the firm?

Q.05

Is human review required for outputs?

Q.06

Where is prompt and output data stored?

Q.07

Does the vendor have a published AI policy?

Q.08

What cyber security certifications are held?

What a listing looks like

A sample vendor profile.

Every Verified vendor in the programme will have a profile in this format. Consistent, comparable, and sourced directly from the vendor.

Template — not a real vendor. Every field below is what a Verified profile will show. Use Show full template to reveal the remaining questions and how Unknown looks when a vendor hasn’t answered a question yet.

The vendor pathway

Four levels of disclosure.

Vendors progress from a basic profile to a fully reviewed transparency position. The programme launches at Levels 1 and 2. Level 3 opens as it matures. Level 4 is on the roadmap.

01
Level 1
Listed

Basic vendor profile with public information only. Identity, product category, and website confirmed by AIGAS.

02
Level 2
Verified

Vendor has completed and signed off the AIGAS transparency questionnaire.

03
Level 3
Assessed

Disclosures have been reviewed and evidence examined by AIGAS.

04
Level 4 · Future
Certified

A future formal certification level, currently under design.

For vendors

Help shape the industry’s first AI vendor transparency framework.

Software companies that sell into UK accounting firms can register interest in becoming founding participants. Founding vendors have direct input into the questionnaire before it is finalised.

  • Positioned as an AIGAS founding participant, not a general listing
  • Input into the transparency questionnaire before it is finalised
  • Visibility with UK accounting firms actively looking for governed AI
  • A defensible way to demonstrate you take AI governance seriously
