The international standard against bribery. We audit your ABMS against ISO 37001 and, on the evidence, issue certification — independently of the audit team.
ISO 37001:2016 sets the requirements for an anti-bribery management system (ABMS): due diligence, controls, reporting and investigation measures reasonably designed to prevent, detect and address bribery.
As an independent certification body, Skyeblanc Certification audits your anti-bribery management system against ISO 37001 and, where the evidence supports conformity, issues certification. We do not design, document or improve your system — that separation is a requirement of ISO/IEC 17021-1 and is exactly what gives an ISO 37001 certificate its meaning.
Certification is delivered under ISO/IEC 17021-9, with the certification decision made by an independent decision-maker who did not conduct your audit.
The same defined path for every applicant — the certification decision held independent of the audit team.
A readiness review of your documented ABMS, scope and objectives, and audit planning.
On-site or ICT-assisted assessment of the ABMS in operation against ISO 37001.
An independent decision-maker reviews the evidence and grants — or declines — certification.
Annual surveillance audits, then a full recertification at year three renews the cycle.
Audit duration for ISO 37001 is determined per IAF MD5 — never a flat rate. The main factors:
The number of people — including shifts and part-time — is the primary driver of audit duration.
How many sites and where. Multi-site sampling follows IAF MD1.
The range of activities and processes within your certified scope.
Operations across multiple shifts can extend on-site audit time.
Transfers from another accredited body are reviewed under IAF MD2.
On-site or ICT-assisted remote auditing per IAF MD4, matched to risk.
Fees are fixed for the defined audit programme. A fixed fee covers the audit; it never buys an outcome — certification is granted only on the evidence, by an independent decision-maker.
ISO 37001 suits organisations exposed to bribery risk in their operations or supply chains. We routinely audit across:
