At defined intervals, CIP consults with suitable and carefully selected interested parties, with balanced private and public sectoral representations, for comments and advise on pertinent matters that may have a direct impact on CIP's impartiality; these consultations seek opinions on the appropriate and legal measures to take as to CIP's degree of openness to public inquiries or requests for non-confidential information. Consultations with external parties also intend to gauge public perception of CIP's operations and certification decisions, if these are favorable.

Consultative meetings may be conducted by CIP with individual resource persons or organizations, and not necessarily by way of formally created committees. The basis of selecting resource persons or organizations is recorded. Minutes of consultations are prepared. Appropriate recommendations arising during these discussions may be adopted as policies or procedures at CIP.

Impartiality of CIP's operations is ensured with its financial independence. To finance its requirements in a sustainable manner, CIP relies completely on its revenues and profits earned from its audit, certification and training fees. There are no external entities that exert direct nor indirect influence on CIP in a way that undermines its independence. No element in CIP's finances comes from grants nor gifts in any form. In addition, CIP has not taken out any debt, short-term or long-term, for its current operations.

Regulatory submissions to the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Bureau of Internal Revenue and the Pasig local government establish the financial independence and responsibility of CIP as a duly registered Philippine corporation.

Other potential threats that can impact to impartiality are identified, assessed and acted upon through the risk assessment done on CIP's operations.
