ISO 37001:2016 — Anti-bribery Management Systems — Audit Checklist

ISO 37001:2016 (Anti-bribery management systems — Requirements with guidance for use)

ISO 37001:2016 audit checklist. Bribery risk assessment, anti-bribery policy and compliance function, employment due diligence, due diligence on transactions and business associates, financial and non-financial controls, gifts and hospitality, raising concerns and investigating bribery — Clauses 4–10, deep full-leaf split.

For the anti-bribery / compliance officer, the anti-bribery compliance function, internal audit and the board of an organisation operating, building or certifying an anti-bribery management system to ISO 37001.

ISO 37001 reads as the familiar seven management-system clauses, but the anti-bribery-specific demands — a live bribery risk assessment, an independent anti-bribery compliance function, risk-based due diligence on transactions and business associates, financial and non-financial controls, gifts/hospitality rules, protected speak-up and impartial investigations — are where certification and enforcement bite. This walks every clause.

Why now

ISO 37001:2016 is the current edition. Certification, and assurance to regulators, customers and the board, turn on evidencing each clause — especially the bribery risk assessment, due diligence and the compliance function’s independence.

What you get for €450

01

Every provision mapped

All 79 audit questions trace to a specific article, annex or clause of ISO 37001:2016. Nothing is hand-waved: each provision is either covered by one or more questions or explicitly recorded as informational. The free Compliance Matrix proves it, line by line.

02

Built to survive scrutiny

Authored and reviewed by compliance management professionals with decades of regulatory experience, against a stated version of ISO 37001:2016. Source text is reproduced verbatim per question, with suggested evidence inline — so an auditor (or a regulator) can follow every answer back to the regulation.

03

Hundreds of hours, ready Monday

The decomposition, evidence prompts and classification scheme are done. Five ready-to-use formats, delivered on payment, that drop straight into your audit process or your GRC tool — instead of months building a checklist from the raw regulation.
