Why Certification in Anti-bribery Management System (ABMS) (ISO 37001)?
The adoption of the ISO 37001 ABMS:2016 had been growing at an exponential rate since the enforcement of Section 17A, MACC Act on Corporate Liability. It provides a practical compliance framework for companies to adopt the five (5) pillars of T.R.U.S.T which had been released by the Ministry in accordance with subsection (5), Section 17A. With the team’s involvement in the early stages of drafting the standard till current times, we see a consistent standard being available to not only mandate companies in Malaysia to have a substantive framework in accordance with local laws but also to be in line with other international anti-corruption laws as well.
