What the Institute will show you
A standards body is only as credible as the record it is willing to publish. These registers are open now, before they contain a single entry, and they will fill in public. A standards body that overstates its own adoption has already failed the test it sets for everyone else.
Register of Credential Holders
Every individual certified by the Institute — Friction Analyst (FA) and Certified Solvency Architect (CSA) — with a verifiable registration number and validity date.
| Name | Credential | Registration no. | Valid to | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No credential holders are yet listed. The register opens when the first FA and CSA cohorts have sat and results are ratified. Examinations are written against published blueprints under an examination firewall. | ||||
Register of Accredited Firms
Audit and advisory firms authorised under IACS-LIC-001 to issue IVDCS conformance opinions and to identify themselves as IVDCS Accredited.
| Firm | Jurisdiction | Accreditation no. | Scope | Valid to |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No firms are yet accredited. The accreditation route (IACS-LIC-001) is defined in full and open to applications. Firms interested in the first cohort should contact the Institute directly. | ||||
Register of Conformance Opinions
Every IVDCS conformance opinion issued, by fiscal year and by the Accredited Firm that issued it. An opinion is valid for one fiscal year and is re-attested annually.
| Entity | Opinion | Fiscal year | Accredited firm | Issued |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No IVDCS conformance opinion has been issued to date, and no entity is entitled to display the IVDCS Mark. | ||||
How the registers work. Self-attestation is not recognised: only an Accredited Firm may issue a conformance opinion, and only a certified individual appears on the credential register. Each entry carries a number you can verify with the Institute.
Working papers are retained for seven years without personal data. Under the No-PII rule the pseudonymisation key stays with the entity; neither the Institute nor an Accredited Firm ever holds it. Every register is published quarterly, and the annual figures are reconciled in the Institute's Annual Report.

Sit a credential, accredit your firm, or commission a conformance opinion through an Accredited Firm. The first step is a short conversation.
