Bribery undermines democracy and the rule of law and poses serious threats to sustained economic progress in developed and emerging economies and to the proper operation of free markets more generally.
As there is an increasing focus on bribery, business reputation, sustainability and growth are at stake. The effects of bribery are felt globally and acts of bribery incur significant criminal sanctions.
An ISO 37001:2016 anti-bribery management system (ABMS) can provide your organization with an international best-practice framework for prohibiting, preventing, detecting and reporting bribery.
Led by an experienced tutor, this course introduces the concepts of anti-bribery, explains the benefits of an ABMS and the key requirements and context of ISO 37001:2016. It’s applicable to all organizations including the public, private and voluntary/non-for-profit sectors.
