Recent cases and statistics show that the problem persists in most countries in the region. Both government officials and private sector business leaders are struggling to adopt policies, control methods and best practices to help reduce bribery and corruption on their watch. High profile cases such as the IMDB scandal in Malaysia and, more recently, the alleged Meikarta township case in Indonesia underscore this point.<\/p>\n<p>The investigations that were triggered by these cases demonstrate, however, that regulators are serious about addressing the threat of bribery and corruption as more than just a legal issue, but as a societal one, as well. In response, organisations that are committed to being in compliance are adopting the ISO 37001 \u2013 Anti-Bribery Management Systems standard as a comprehensive approach to mitigating risk. ISO 37001 and its elements can be tailored to any type of organisation. It prescribes implementing an anti-bribery policy, appointing a person to oversee anti-bribery compliance, training, risk assessments and due diligence on projects and business associates. It also calls for implementing financial and commercial controls, and instituting reporting and investigation procedures.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Download the <a href=\"https:\/\/crigroup.com\/download-a-file\/?dynamictext_945=https:\/\/2506761.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net\/hubfs\/2506761\/PDF%20library\/Southeast%20Asia%20&amp;%20ISO%2037001_ABAC.pdf\">FULL CASE STUDY here<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Who is CRI<\/span><\/strong><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Group\u2122?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Based in London, CRI Group\u2122 works with companies across the Americas, Europe, Africa, Middle East and Asia-Pacific as a one-stop international\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/cta-service-cms2.hubspot.com\/ctas\/v2\/public\/cs\/preview\/click?cta_guid=b733ad82-0e55-4917-bb02-011bb79f838d&amp;placement_guid=250fb2a7-fa34-4014-a23e-a19ec41aee8a&amp;portal_id=2506761&amp;redirectUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fcrigroup.com%2Four-solutions%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Risk Management<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">,\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/cta-service-cms2.hubspot.com\/ctas\/v2\/public\/cs\/preview\/click?cta_guid=4ec58284-73b3-46f5-a11f-d9dcc6b8e17e&amp;placement_guid=f957ed6c-edc3-4286-ac30-f33caa6f81f9&amp;portal_id=2506761&amp;redirectUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fcrigroup.com%2Femployee-background-checks%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Employee Background Screening<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">,\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/crigroup.com\/business-intelligence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Business Intelligence<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">,\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/cta-service-cms2.hubspot.com\/ctas\/v2\/public\/cs\/preview\/click?cta_guid=13966f36-e2fa-4f6b-afeb-5a9004f47f91&amp;placement_guid=67fe51fd-e7a3-4fe3-814a-c8c713aa06e5&amp;portal_id=2506761&amp;redirectUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fcrigroup.com%2Fthird-party-risk-management%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">TPRM<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">,\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/cta-service-cms2.hubspot.com\/ctas\/v2\/public\/cs\/preview\/click?cta_guid=b8a8c479-0172-4651-bdd7-06d3a3e1b42b&amp;placement_guid=26b207ed-54ef-48d8-a2eb-d0931ca99b39&amp;portal_id=2506761&amp;redirectUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fcrigroup.com%2Fdue-diligence%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Due Diligence<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">,\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/cta-service-cms2.hubspot.com\/ctas\/v2\/public\/cs\/preview\/click?cta_guid=e0e860b5-1822-40b5-a34c-d0a8782d97c8&amp;placement_guid=46f09df8-0452-4582-a178-75554e2c10bc&amp;portal_id=2506761&amp;redirectUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fcrigroup.com%2Fcompliance-solutions%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Compliance Solutions<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0and other professional\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/cta-service-cms2.hubspot.com\/ctas\/v2\/public\/cs\/preview\/click?cta_guid=186c5f76-08e9-452a-b6c7-53c143e3a42e&amp;placement_guid=da1251cb-798d-4e81-a03a-6484600d1cf1&amp;portal_id=2506761&amp;redirectUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fcrigroup.com%2Finvestigative-solutions%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Investigative Research<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> solutions provider.
