ISO 37001 Anti-Bribery Management System
Demonstrate Ethics and Integrity in Your Business
Bribery is a major issue faced by businesses entities. For an organization, the cost of establishing anti-bribery management system in compliance with ISO 37001:2016 is minimal when compared to the commercial and financial losses including reputational damages which are likely to be incurred by exposure to bribery risks.
ISO 37001:2016 is the only internationally recognized Antibribery Management System standard (ABMS) that reflects international good practice and can be used in all jurisdictions. The ABMS is aimed at guiding and assisting organisations in implementing and improving their anti-bribery management system and it is applicable to small, medium and large organisations in the public, private and voluntary sectors. The standard does not guarantee companies are not engaged in bribery-related practices, but helps by providing a management system framework with which they can structure their due diligence programs.
ISO 37001 is likely to be useful to organisations in the following way.
ISO 37001 is applicable only to bribery. It is not applicable to other criminal offences such as fraud, cartels, and money laundering, although the organisation may choose to extend the scope of its anti-bribery programme to include these other offences.
