The UAE has quickly risen to be one of the top money-laundering hubs globally, with their reputation at stake. It is no wonder that the UAE government is cracking down on all organisations to ensure moral trading ethically. This sudden yet substantial pressure from UAE legislators and civil society to address the issue within organizations poses as one of the central reasons companies need to ensure that they are pre-emptive in the fight against bribery and corruption. Critical issues in any organization, such as integrity and reputation risk management, significantly dwarf any perceived benefits to participating in corruption. No corporation wants to have its reputation, which takes years to build, eternally tarred by its engagement in bribery and corruption. That’s why ISO 37001:2016 training and certification is so important and why ABAC® is hosting a live training session on the 30th of September on the Pitfalls Most Organisations Often Commit – the importance of implementing an Anti-Bribery Management System (ABMS).
The live ISO 37001 training course will feature information regarding bribery, including consequences of bribery and using an anti-bribery management system as a defence mechanism as well as an overview of the regulatory framework. The course is aimed at businesses who wish to widen their knowledge and expertise regarding the ISO 37001 Anti-bribery Management System standard. With the UAE cracking down on company procedures, it is important to take action now more than ever.
DURING THIS LIVE ISO 37001 TRAINING COURSE, YOU WILL…
- Discuss what the underlying Bribery and Corruption risks are for corporations across the UAE.
- Find out how to protect financial institutions and corporations from bribery and corruption risk.
- Take a look at the damages that could affect businesses and beyond in the wake of bribery and corruption.
- Examine Effective Controls used to mitigate risk for bribery and corruption.
- Review what can be done in the case of bribery being detected.
- Break down all the components of risk management using the anti-bribery management system at corporations and financial institutions.
- Engage in a live Q&A session.
This live training course will be running from 12:00 to 14:00 GST on Thursday the 30th of September; at the end of the live session you will have obtained a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) certificate and Certificate of Attendance (COA) as well as a complimentary ABMS Awareness Training for two people (per company). Register your place for this live ISO 37001 training course here and learn how to implement the ISO Anti-Bribery Management System standards in your organisation to ensure that you don’t get caught out on any laws you weren’t made aware of.
