Program Overview
ISO 37001 specifies requirements for an anti-bribery management system (ABMS). Train to audit bribery risk assessment, due diligence, financial and non-financial controls, gifts and hospitality, the compliance function and top-management accountability — a critical governance add-on for banks, insurers and fintechs subject to APRA, DORA and sectoral cyber-risk regulation.
Syllabus
