At CRI\u00ae, we believe it is important as it provides a key layer against threats of bribery, corruption, fraud and other security concerns. It also sets an organisation apart from its peers as a model for ethical behaviour and compliance.<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> After all, consider the benefits: Certification adds a distinct level of credibility to the organisation\u2019s management systems and ensures that the organisation implements a viable anti-bribery management program utilising widely accepted controls and systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It assures management, investors, business associates, personnel and other stakeholders that the organisation is actively pursuing internationally recognised and accepted processes to prevent bribery and corruption.\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">ISO 37001:2016 certification<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> also protects the organisation, its assets, shareholders and directors from the effects of bribery.\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">But what, exactly, is the process for getting ISO 37001:2016 certified by\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">ABAC Group\u2122<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">? Once your organisation has submitted questionnaire information and completed the approval and contract stage, the certification cycle is ready to begin.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Step 1: Audit confirmation<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">An audit plan will be developed with your organisation and confirmed to the Certification\u2019s Body Assessment Team at least three months before the organisation\u2019s first audit.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Step 2: Pre-assessment audit (optional)<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The organisation can opt to perform a pre-assessment audit to identify any possible gaps between its current management system and the standard requirements. This audit is optional and helps the organisation check its preparedness for the stage 1 and 2 assessments by identifying any major non-conformities that have not been addressed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Step 3: Stage 1 audit<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Review the results of the audit, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">General observations<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Non-conformities (major or minor, see below)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Minor non-conformities:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0These are not seen as serious. The organisation must complete an internal Corrective Action Plan (CAP) before Stage 2. CAP is not required to be sent to the Assessment Team at Stage 1.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Major non-conformities:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0These are more serious. The organisation will need to submit a CAP within ten days of receiving the audit report, with all actions scheduled to be completed before Stage 2. The CAP should be sent to the Assessment Team. The major non-conformities raised during Stage 1 will be re-assessed during Stage 2 Audit.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Step 4: Stage 2 audit<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This is an on-site audit and takes place after the organisation has successfully completed Stage 1 and corrected any major non-conformities identified during the Stage 1 audit. Stage 2 confirms that the organisation\u2019s management system is fully aligned to the standard. The evaluation is of management system implementation and its effectiveness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Outcome:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0The audit report will detail the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Any positive observations<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Opportunities for improvement &#8211; suggestions for improvement and any findings that could lead to potential non-conformities.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Non-conformities (Major or Minor)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Recommendation for Certification<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Minor non-conformities:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0The organisation must complete an internal Corrective Action Plan (CAP) and submit this to the Assessment Team within 45 working days of receiving the audit report. The Assessment Team will review the CAP; it must detail the non-conformity, the cause, the proposed corrective action, who is responsible and the date the action will be implemented. Based on the evaluation of CAP, the recommendation for certification will be made.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">For minor non-conformities, if an organisation has a corrective action procedure, this will not delay the certificate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Major non-conformities:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0The organisation must complete an internal Corrective Action Plan (CAP) and submit it within 90 days (or 180 days depending on the number and risk of major non-conformities) of receiving the audit report be sent to the auditor.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What Comes Next?
