Benefits of ISO 37001?
When bribery and corruption effect a business, it has massive impact.
Corruption is a serious issue that impacts many industries and sectors which can have the potential to ruin a business and leave employees redundant which can lead to mistrust, economic downturn, and instability.
When a business faces corruption, it experiences a negative impact on its name and reputation to the public, existing clients and potential business partners and clients.
The standard covers fraud, money laundering and bribery:
- Within the organisation, personally or business associates which are acting on the organisation's behalf or for their own benefit
- Of the organisation, its personnel or business associates in relation to organisational activity
What is ISO 37001?
ISO 37001 integrates a best practice approach for whistleblowing and has brought change to market dealings and business operations internationally and gives stakeholders the assurance that organisations are actively pursuing an internally recognised process to prevent bribery and corruption.
The anti bribery management system also allows your organisation to improve everyday performance by ensuring organisational culture focuses on transparency and suppress the risk of briber, this culture allows goals and objectives to be set which promote due diligence and the ability to monitor and evaluate to reduce the risk of bribery.
Protecting assets, shareholders and management from bribery and corruption is another benefit of the anti-bribery management standard. Bribery can affect the profit margin and is one of the most destructive habits which can affect any organisation.
ISO 37001 was designed with the capability of ensuring the prevention of bribery and addresses how bribery could occur.
The standard allows room for organisational growth and is formatted to ensure a good reputation and a positive working environment providing good employee morale.
