Entry into force of the Independent Whistleblower Protection Authority

19/08/2025

On 12 August, Order PJC/908/2025 was published in the Official State Gazette (BOE), establishing 1 September 2025 as the date on which the Independent Whistleblower Protection Authority (“AAI”) will become operational.

This decision allows the AAI to begin its activities and marks not only the start of its supervisory and sanctioning powers over the parties required to comply with the regulation – as a general rule, this includes all companies operating in Spain with 50 or more employees – but also sets a deadline of 1 November for communicating the appointment and dismissal of those responsible for each internal reporting system.
