Frequently asked questions about Anti-Bribery
Brief answers to help choose the most suitable training in this area.
What does the Anti-Corruption area cover?
It covers the implementation, operation, monitoring, and audit of anti-corruption systems, including risk assessment, policies, controls, third-party due diligence, whistleblowing mechanisms, and continual improvement.
What is ISO 37001 used for?
ISO 37001 provides a framework for implementing, operating, maintaining, and improving an anti-corruption management system, with a focus on governance, risk, controls, reporting, investigation, and a culture of integrity.
What is the difference between ISO 37001 Employee Readiness, ISO 37001 Foundation, ISO 37001 Lead Implementer, and ISO 37001 Lead Auditor?
Employee Readiness is intended for the general workforce and focuses on integrity, warning signs, reporting, and prudent behaviour. Foundation introduces the principles, requirements, and structure of the anti-corruption system. Lead Implementer develops the implementation, operation, and improvement of the system in greater depth. Lead Auditor focuses on the methodology, planning, execution, and evaluation of audits of the anti-corruption management system.
Is this area relevant only for compliance, or also for procurement, commercial teams, management, and operations?
It is relevant for compliance, but also for roles exposed to third parties, gifts, undue pressure, contracting, procurement, sales, support, management, and operational oversight.
Does this area help reduce the risk of corruption and fraud?
Yes. One of the objectives of this area is to strengthen the ability to prevent, detect, and respond to corruption risks through policies, controls, risk assessment, due diligence, whistleblowing mechanisms, and evidence of compliance.
Is the training relevant for ethical culture and not only for formal compliance?
Yes. This area connects formal requirements with a culture of integrity, leadership, organisational behaviour, and decision-making and control mechanisms that make corruption prevention effective in practice.
Can I ask for support in defining a training path for my role or team?
Yes. BEHAVIOUR can support the choice of the most suitable path according to the role, responsibilities, organisational context, and intended level of maturity.
Need help choosing the right course?
We support the decision based on context, responsibilities and the level of maturity in compliance.
