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.
