Master ISO 37001 Anti Bribery Management Systems including risk assessment, due diligence, policies, internal audits, and certification preparation.

Description

Bribery is a major challenge that erodes trust, distorts markets, and increases business risks. Organizations that engage in or tolerate bribery expose themselves to legal penalties, reputational damage, and financial losses. Many countries have strict anti-bribery laws such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the UK Bribery Act, which impose severe consequences on companies and individuals involved in corrupt practices. ISO 37001 is an internationally recognized standard designed to help organizations implement and maintain an Anti Bribery Management System. This master class teaches you to identify key anti bribery risks, design and implement an ABMS, conduct external and third party audits, lead an organization through ISO 37001 certification, and develop anti bribery policies, procedures, and controls.
