ISO 37001 Anti-Bribery Management System Awareness

ISO 37001 gets adopted in Malaysia for two different reasons, and it matters which one applies to you. Some organisations want certification because a customer or a government contract requires it. Others want the structure because Section 17A of the MACC Act made adequate procedures a statutory defence and the standard is the most complete template available. This day covers what the standard actually requires, how the system works once it is running, and what certification does and does not do for your legal position.

Programme Agenda

Why Organisations Adopt the Standard

The certification-driven route and the Section 17A-driven route, and how they change what you should build. What certification proves, and the important thing it does not prove.

The Clause Structure

Context, leadership, planning, support, operation, performance evaluation and improvement. Reading the standard so a requirement can be found rather than remembered.

Bribery Risk Assessment

Identifying exposure across sales, procurement, licensing, permits, hiring and community relations. Scoring, documenting, and refreshing the assessment when the business changes.

The Anti-Bribery Compliance Function

The role the standard requires, its independence and authority, and how it works in an organisation too small to staff it as a full-time position.

Due Diligence and Business Associates

Assessing agents, distributors, consultants, joint venture partners and suppliers proportionately to risk. Contractual anti-bribery commitments and what to do when a partner will not accept them.

Controls: Financial and Non-Financial

Approval limits, gifts and hospitality policy, political and charitable contributions, facilitation payments, and the non-financial controls around tendering and specification that matter more than most gift registers.

Raising Concerns, Investigation and Response

Reporting channels, protection for the person who reports, investigation process, and the disciplinary and remedial response. Making a channel people will actually use.

Getting to Certification

Gap analysis, implementation sequence, internal audit, management review, and what a certification audit examines. Realistic timelines and the cost drivers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Integrity and compliance officers, risk managers, internal auditors, procurement and legal staff, and directors of organisations considering certification or building adequate procedures under Section 17A.

Neither. It is an awareness and implementation-planning programme. Organisational certification comes from an accredited certification body after an audit; individual lead auditor or lead implementer certificates come from separate examined courses.

Certification is not itself the statutory defence, and the Act does not require it. However the standard covers the same ground as the adequate procedures guidance in more detail, so organisations frequently use it as the implementation template. The programme is explicit about where the two align and where the standard goes further than the law requires.

Usually yes. A policy is one component. The standard is about the system around it: risk assessment, due diligence, controls, monitoring and review. Most organisations arriving with a policy find the gaps are in those areas.

Yes, this programme is HRD Corp SBL-KHAS claimable. Our team can assist your HR department with the documentation required for the grant application.

Yes. Any programme can be booked as a team day. Everyone works the same brief together, so your people come away having built something and knowing each other better.

If you are claiming under HRD Corp, the session has to fall at least 14 days after your HRD Corp approval. If you are not claiming, the date is flexible and we work around your calendar.

Put them on the self-paced e-learning instead. Your team works through the modules on our LMS in their own time, sits the assessment, and earns the same certificate, so nobody has to clear a full day together.
