Anti-Bribery Management System
‘’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’
ISO 37001:2016 is the International Standard that allows organizations of all types to prevent, detect and address bribery by adopting an anti-bribery policy, appointing a person to oversee anti-bribery compliance, training, risk assessments and due diligence on projects and business associates, implementing financial and commercial controls, and instituting reporting and investigation procedures.
Providing a globally recognized way to address a destructive criminal activity that turns over a trillion dollars of dirty money each year, ISO 37001:2016 addresses one of the world’s most destructive and challenging issues head-on, and demonstrates a committed approach to stamping out corruption.
Bribery, one of the greatest challenges to global development, is fought on different levels. Governments have taken steps to address bribery through international agreements and through their national laws. There is a further need to organize good practices to ensure effective implementation of laws.
One of the tools to minimize anti-bribery practices is the implementation of an anti-bribery management system. ISO 37001:2016 provides measures that help organizations to prevent, detect and address bribery based on the size and nature of the organization and the bribery risk it faces.
In India National Accreditation Board for Certification Bodies (NABCB) aims to boost the anti-bribery compliance programme in order to support industries that are committed to conducting business with integrity. The NABCB scheme on anti-bribery management systems recognizes that CBs are competent and reliable in the operation of Anti-bribery Management System (ABMS) certification through the demonstration of a rigorous conformity assessment process. NABCB aims to involve external and internal stakeholders who can affect and contribute to the implementation of anti-bribery management systems like public and private sectors (organizations involved in financial services, academics and other business industries) based on risks involved as per their activities for eradication of bribery.
In India NABCB has decided to create awareness and encourage the organizations (government or non-government) to get certified as per ISO 37001:2016 standard.
