Background

About ISO 37001:2016

International Assessment Bureau is an independent certification body based in the UK. ISO 37001:2016 provides requirements and guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining and improving an Anti-Bribery Management System, addressing both the internal risk of bribery by the organisation or its employees and external risk from third parties acting on its behalf.

ISO itself issues no certification or conformity test directly - certification against ISO 37001:2016 is carried out by certification bodies such as International Assessment Bureau. Implementing the standard helps organisations reduce the risk of bribery incidents and demonstrate a credible, independently audited commitment to anti-bribery compliance.
