What is included in the four-day ISO 37001 Lead Auditor program?

The four-day program is organized around the audit lifecycle for an ISO 37001:2025-based Anti-bribery Management System (ABMS). It starts with ABMS and certification context and then progresses through audit initiation, execution, and closing activities.Day 1 introduces ABMS and ISO 37001. It covers course objectives and structure, standards and regulatory frameworks, the certification process, and the fundamental concepts and principles of anti-bribery. This day establishes the reference points needed to interpret requirements during auditing.Day 2 focuses on audit principles and preparation for initiation. Topics include fundamental audit concepts and principles, the impact of trends and technology in auditing, evidence-based auditing, and risk-based auditing. The day then moves into initiation of the audit process and stage 1 audit activities.Day 3 is dedicated to on-site audit activities. The agenda includes preparing for stage 2, executing stage 2, managing communication during the audit, applying audit procedures, and creating audit test plans. Test plans translate audit objectives into targeted checks and evidence collection activities.Day 4 covers closing the audit and program continuity. Topics include drafting audit findings and nonconformity reports, audit documentation and quality review, closing activities, and evaluation of action plans by the auditor. The day also includes content beyond the initial audit and managing an internal audit program, reinforcing that audits should support ongoing oversight and improvement.Across the program, the stated educational approach combines theory and practice, including examples based on real cases, a full case study with role-based activities and oral presentations, review exercises, and a practice test similar to the certification exam.
