The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) introduced a new standard for anti-bribery compliance, known as “ISO 37001,” in September. This represents a significant step toward the continued development and standardization of international anti-bribery compliance. By the end of the year, companies can obtain an independent certification from a third-party auditor, attesting to the fact that their internal compliance programs conform to ISO 37001 requirements. So is it worth your time? It depends.
Introduction to ISO 37001
ISO 37001 (also known as ISO's Anti-Bribery Management Systems Standard or “Standard”) is designed to provide standards and guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining, reviewing and improving an anti-bribery management system. The Standard has very broad applicability and can be adopted by a wide range of organizations. In addition to large corporations, small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), public- and private-sector organizations, and non-governmental organizations may want to consider the ISO Certification. The ISO does not conduct certification of its standards. Rather, companies may seek certification by hiring a third-party auditor, most preferably one that is accredited and that uses the ISO's CASCO standards, to issue an assurance that the company is compliant with ISO 37001.

Possession of real property is a matter of physical fact. Having the right or legal entitlement to possession is not "possession," possession is "the fact of having or holding property in one's power." That power means having physical dominion and control over the property.
UCC Sections 9406(d) and 9408(a) are one of the most powerful, yet least understood, sections of the Uniform Commercial Code. On their face, they appear to override anti-assignment provisions in agreements that would limit the grant of a security interest. But do these sections really work?
