Anti-Bribery Management Systems (ABMS)

ISO 37001:2016 – Anti-Bribery Management Systems (ABMS)

At WWISE, we assist organisations in implementing ISO 37001:2016 Anti-Bribery Management Systems (ABMS) to prevent, detect, and address bribery and corruption risks. This international standard provides a structured framework to strengthen ethical conduct, protect reputation, and meet stakeholder expectations of transparency and integrity.

What ISO 37001:2016 Is and Why It Matters

ISO 37001:2016 is the international standard for anti-bribery management systems. It is designed to help organisations establish, implement, maintain, and improve controls to prevent bribery in all forms — whether involving employees, business associates, or government officials.

Key elements of the standard include:

  • Anti-bribery policy and procedures.
  • Leadership commitment and accountability.
  • Risk assessments and due diligence processes.
  • Financial and non-financial controls.
  • Reporting, monitoring, and investigation mechanisms.
  • Continual improvement through regular reviews.

By adopting ISO 37001:2016, organisations demonstrate a clear commitment to ethical business practices and compliance with anti-bribery laws worldwide.
