Introduction:

ISO 37001 establishes an international framework that guides organizations in preventing, detecting, and responding to bribery risks through structured governance mechanisms. The standard defines requirements for establishing an Anti-Bribery Management System that integrates ethical conduct, compliance oversight, and internal control structures within organizational operations. This training program examines the institutional structures used to establish and manage an Anti-Bribery Management System aligned with ISO 37001. It presents governance frameworks, policy architectures, risk governance structures, and performance evaluation mechanisms that organize anti-bribery management within institutional environments.
