The New Anti-Bribery Compliance Standard
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.
