What This Course is About

This course is specifically focused on building professional competence to audit an organization’s Anti-Bribery Management System (ABMS) as per the updated ISO 37001:2025 standard. Participants will gain a detailed understanding of the new and revised clauses, including those related to bribery risk assessment, third-party due diligence, whistleblowing mechanisms, nonconformity management, management review, and continual improvement. The course also covers how to apply the principles of auditing in accordance with ISO 19011, ensuring that learners are proficient in planning and executing a full audit lifecycle — from preparation to reporting and follow-up.

In this program, students will learn how to interpret the ISO 37001:2025 requirements in real-world scenarios, identify nonconformities, verify corrective actions, and evaluate the effectiveness of anti-bribery controls. With a strong emphasis on practical audit techniques, case-based learning, and ISO 37001-specific examples, learners will be prepared not only to assess compliance but also to contribute meaningfully to the integrity and anti-corruption objectives of their organization or clients.

Why This Course is Important

Bribery continues to be one of the most widespread and damaging forms of corruption, posing serious risks to organizations, economies, and societies. It can destroy reputations, lead to severe legal consequences, and erode public and stakeholder trust. In today’s global environment, simply having a code of ethics or compliance statement is not enough — organizations must implement structured systems to actively prevent, detect, and respond to bribery.

ISO 37001:2025 provides a robust international framework for preventing bribery in both public and private sectors. This standard helps organizations demonstrate their commitment to ethical business practices and regulatory compliance. However, to ensure that the ABMS is effectively implemented and maintained, it must be audited by competent professionals. That’s where the role of a certified Lead Auditor becomes vital.

Our course enables learners to become that trusted expert — someone who can provide independent, thorough, and credible assessments of anti-bribery systems in place. The 2025 edition of the standard reflects the most current global expectations, and professionals trained on these updated requirements will be in high demand across industries worldwide.

Who Should Enroll in This Course

This course is suitable for professionals across a wide range of industries and roles, including:

• Internal auditors responsible for compliance or anti-bribery evaluations
• External auditors seeking ISO 37001 Lead Auditor certification
• Compliance officers, ethics officers, and governance managers

• Consultants supporting ABMS implementation or internal control development
• Management representatives overseeing anti-bribery compliance
• Anyone seeking a career in auditing or anti-corruption frameworks
