Introduction to BS 10500 Anti-Bribery Management System

An anti-bribery management system (ABMS), based on the published BS 10500 standard, will provide your organization with a framework for prohibiting, preventing, detecting, reporting and dealing with any bribery that does occur.

The 1-day "Introduction to BS 10500 Anti-Bribery Management System" training course will assist you to put in place “adequate procedures” to prevent acts of fraud and bribery within your organization. Led by an experienced tutor, this course will introduce the concepts of anti-bribery, explain the benefits of an ABMS, and explain the key requirements and context of BS 10500.

This course was developed in association with the City of London Police, Economic Crime and Fraud Training Academy.
