ISO 37001 هي المواصفة الدولية لنظام إدارة مكافحة الرشوة. تساعد المؤسسة على منع الرشوة واكتشافها والتعامل معها، من خلال سياسة واضحة، وتقييم لمخاطر الرشوة، وعناية واجبة تجاه الأطراف الثالثة، وضوابط مالية وغير مالية، وآليات للإبلاغ والتحقيق.
Many organizations previously treated bribery and corruption issues as purely legal matters, but reality has shown that their impact extends to reputation, contracts, business relationships, institutional stability, and the trust of clients, investors, and regulators. Therefore, the need for a clear system for managing this type of risk has become of paramount importance.
An organization that has an effective anti-bribery system not only protects itself from potential deviations, but also builds a more transparent and disciplined climate in decisions, contracts, and internal and external relationships.
The system helps to establish clear professional behaviors that support transparency and accountability.
By assessing risks and applying clear controls on sensitive activities.
It clarifies responsibilities, authorities, oversight and follow-up mechanisms.
Having a clear system that reflects the organization’s commitment to integrity and compliance.
It helps to regulate the relationship with suppliers, agents, partners, and contractors.
Especially when integrity and compliance are an important factor in the evaluation or contracting process.
Especially those dealing with large contracts or multiple parties.
Due to the sensitivity of contracts, purchases, suppliers, and subcontractors.
That needs clear controls on relationships and transactions.
That deals with third parties, agents and distributors.
Those who want to improve governance, compliance, and integrity.
Even if you are not in a high-risk sector, having a strong compliance framework gives you added value.
The system will not succeed if there is no clear support from the top management.
The existence of a clear and declared policy defines the institution's position and its obligations.
Understanding where bribery risks can appear within different activities and relationships.
Properly examine third parties and sensitive activities according to the level of risk.
The application of financial and non-financial controls helps in prevention and detection.
Having clear mechanisms for reporting and handling suspicions in a professional manner.
Continuously monitoring and developing the system based on results, findings, and changes.
The anti-bribery system includes a set of key elements, the most important of which are:
In simple terms, ISO 37001 expects the organization to:
Understanding the nature of the activity, sector, and actual need.
Determining what the system will include in terms of departments, services, or locations.
Evaluate the current situation compared to the requirements of the specification.
Developing policies, procedures, models, records, and controls.
Activating the system within the organization and linking it to daily operations.
Empowering internal teams to properly understand and apply the system.
Reviewing compliance and identifying observations and opportunities for improvement.
Complete readiness before visiting the grant-giving entity.
