Introduction

Course overview

Bribery distorts markets, undermines trust and exposes organisations to criminal penalties, debarment and lasting reputational damage. Anti-bribery laws in many countries hold organisations liable for bribes paid by employees or intermediaries unless they can show adequate procedures to prevent them.

This Anti-Bribery Management Systems training course explains how to design, implement and maintain an anti-bribery management system aligned with ISO 37001, the international standard for anti-bribery management. Participants learn the structure and requirements of the standard, how to assess bribery risk, implement proportionate controls, conduct due diligence, manage gifts and hospitality, and monitor and audit the system.

The course also covers leadership commitment, the role of the compliance function, investigations and the steps involved in preparing for certification.
