In short

ISO 37001 certification in Atlanta at a glance

A company headquartered in Atlanta with operations abroad has to answer for its agents, distributors and suppliers as well as its own staff. The Metro Atlanta Chamber counts over 1,200 regional and global headquarters in the region, and many of them run supplier due-diligence programmes that ask about bribery. Trade and logistics operators handling customs and cross-border shipments face the same questions from the other side. ISO 37001 gives a company a management system for it: leadership commitment, risk assessment, due diligence on business associates, gifts and hospitality rules, financial and procurement controls, reporting channels and investigation. Sterling's New York office builds it with compliance leaders, trains staff through Sterling Academy and prepares the accredited certification body's audit. Counsel advises on applicable statutes. Local questions follow.

Someone independent oversees complianceAn anti-bribery compliance function has the authority and independence to oversee the system.
You assessed your bribery risksBribery risks across activities, locations, business partners and transactions are assessed and kept up to date.
People and partners are checkedDue diligence covers relevant staff, business partners and projects, with controls on gifts, hospitality and donations.

ISO 37001 in Atlanta: questions clients ask

Why do headquarters in Atlanta care about ISO 37001?

Companies with international operations expect subsidiaries, agents and suppliers to meet the same integrity standards, and an audited management system makes that checkable. With over 1,200 regional and global headquarters counted by the Metro Atlanta Chamber, supplier questionnaires on bribery are a familiar sight.

Does ISO 37001 protect a company legally?

No. It is a management system standard that helps an organisation prevent, detect and respond to bribery, and a certificate shows that an accredited body found the system working. It does not give immunity or replace advice from counsel on US and foreign laws.
