An ABMS is a structured management system designed to prevent, detect, and address bribery risks. ISO 37001 defines requirements for governance, controls, monitoring, and continual improvement.
An Anti-Bribery Management System (ABMS) is a formal framework that helps organizations prevent, detect, and respond to bribery risks. Under ISO 37001, the ABMS integrates governance, policies, procedures, and controls into day-to-day operations.The system begins with understanding organizational context and defining the scope of the ABMS. This ensures that bribery risks are assessed where they are most relevant. Risk assessment and due diligence activities then identify exposure related to business activities, partners, and transactions.ISO 37001 also requires the establishment of anti-bribery controls. These include commitments from leadership, defined roles and responsibilities, reporting and investigation mechanisms, and documented procedures to manage risks.Operation of the ABMS involves awareness, training, communication, and operational controls. Performance is evaluated through monitoring, measurement, internal audits, and management reviews.Continual improvement is a core requirement. Organizations are expected to address nonconformities, improve controls, and adapt the ABMS as risks and context change. The ISO 37001 Lead Implementer course focuses on translating these requirements into an operational system that supports ethical business practices.
Effective ABMS implementation depends on integration, not parallel systems. Controls should align with existing governance and operational processes.Risk assessment and due diligence are the backbone. Without them, controls lack focus and credibility.
“An ABMS integrates anti-bribery controls into everyday operations.”
