AZF opts for a Collegiate Body, delegating the function of processing files to one of its components. The designation as members of the collegiate body will be the same members who are part of the AZF Contracting Board (staff of the Financial Department and the Legal Department). This body is responsible for:

• Establish measures to protect the intimacy and privacy of people who report or communicate facts with the appearance of irregularity or infraction, to avoid possible reprisals.
• Establish measures to protect the intimacy and privacy of those possibly affected, that is, those persons to whom the infringement is attributed or with whom it is associated.
• Maintain communication with the informant, always guaranteeing their confidentiality and, if necessary, additional information may be requested, as well as a response.
• Carry out a verification prior to the start of the investigation actions of the existence of reasonable indications of veracity of the facts and that due to their nature they can be the object of investigation.
• Refer the actions to the competent body to initiate the corresponding procedure, if it is verified that there are facts that may lead to the initiation of ex officio actions, such as the initiation of sanctioning or disciplinary proceedings, ex officio annulment, declarations of harm, refunds, patrimonial responsibility or records of accounting prosecution.

• When the information is unfounded, notoriously false or lacks supporting evidence.
• When the information is of a generic nature and does not refer to verifiable facts or specific data.
• When, regarding the same facts and conducts, investigative actions have previously been carried out and are already closed.
• Any other justified circumstance appreciated by the competent body.

• Protection of access and treatment of information through security mechanisms in management and custody systems, such as authentication, authorization and encryption processes.
• The duty of confidentiality, anonymization of information and secrecy regarding the information obtained.
• The due protection and respect of all those directly or indirectly affected by the information issued, avoiding possible harm to the persons investigated or subject to inspection actions.
• The express consent of the informant to reveal his identity, as well as to reveal any other information from which it can be directly or indirectly deduced.
