What changed

Put the event in context.

ISO published the 2025 edition of its anti-bribery management system standard.

This entry records the published event and what it may prompt an organisation to examine. Publication of a plan, strategy or proposal is different from an operative legal requirement or an available funding scheme.

Implementation questions

Turn history into a decision.

Action to consider

Compare the licensed new edition with existing scope, due diligence, reporting and financial control arrangements before planning transition.

Evidence to bring

Bring the current owner, a dated process or decision record, the applicable requirement and a measure of the outcome. Compare the record with the primary source before committing resources.

Limit

This is a selected desk review. It does not establish applicability to a particular organisation, the present legal position, or the outcome of a later policy change.

Questions for a review meeting

Use the event to test a real decision.

  1. Where do intermediaries, gifts, payments or agents create bribery exposure?
  2. What changed in the purchased 2025 edition for this scope?
  3. How will due diligence and speak-up controls be tested?

Keep a note of the source date, your decision, the owner and the point at which you will check again.
