ISO 37001 – Anti-Bribery Management Systems

Brief Description

ISO 37001 aims to help an organization implement an effective anti-bribery management system. It provides organizations with guidance on implementing anti-bribery measures, depending on the type and size of the organization, and the nature and extent of the bribery risk the organization faces.

Detailed Description

Certification and implementation of ISO 37001 does not eliminate the risk of bribery, but it is certainly a major step in combating it.

Some of the main points the standard focuses on are:

• Application of the appropriate vetting of the organization’s personnel, with the aim of compliance with the anti-bribery policy and the ABMS.
• Training of personnel in accordance with the anti-bribery policy and the ABMS.
• Application of appropriate security fail-safes for reducing the risk of bribery.
• Implementation of the appropriate measures for auditing procurements, commercial and other non-financial transactions in order to reduce the risk of bribery.
• Controls of gifts, hospitality, donations and other benefits, with the aim of averting their use for bribery purposes.

Following the ANNEX SL structure, ISO 37001 can be combined during application or certification with other standards that follow the same structure, such as ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 9001, ISO 27001.
