The legal department appoints a junior lawyer as the compliance officer, whose primary responsibilities remain contract review and litigation support. This lawyer has limited experience in anti-bribery compliance and no dedicated budget or staff to conduct risk assessments, training, or due diligence on suppliers. Furthermore, the lawyer reports directly to the General Counsel, who is primarily focused on minimizing legal liabilities rather than proactively preventing bribery.

Based on this scenario and the requirements of ISO 37001:2016, which of the following actions is MOST critical for AgriCorp to ensure the effectiveness of its anti-bribery management system?

Accepted Answer

However, the risk assessment did not adequately address the potential for bribery within its extensive global supply chain, particularly concerning a key supplier located in a country known for high levels of corruption according to Transparency International\'s Corruption Perception Index. The current scope of Globex\'s proposed anti-bribery management system (ABMS) only covers direct employees and company-owned facilities, excluding any third-party suppliers or distributors. Initial stakeholder consultations did not specifically address expectations regarding ethical sourcing and supply chain integrity. Considering the requirements of ISO 37001:2016 and the principles of risk-based thinking, what is the MOST appropriate immediate action Globex should take?

Accepted Answer

Revise the scope of the ABMS to include the supply chain, conduct a thorough risk assessment of the supply chain, and implement appropriate anti-bribery controls.
