Focus ABC Committee Form Template
A record template for facilitating and conducting a Focus-ABC (anti-bribery compliance) committee meeting - covering committee membership, the scope of review, investigation findings, recommended actions, and formal approval and closure.
ISO 37001 expects clear roles, responsibilities and authorities across the anti-bribery management system (clause 5.3) and structured review of how the system is performing (clause 9.4, Review by Anti-bribery Function). This form gives a committee a single document to work from, from setup through to closure.
Built for ISO 37001:2025
The form supports the governance and review requirements of the anti-bribery management system standard:
- Records who set up the committee, its members, and the date
- Defines the scope of review or specific issues under investigation or consideration
- Captures a numbered review / investigation summary and overall conclusions
- Tracks recommended actions and issues raised through to approval and closure
What's Included in this Focus ABC Committee Record
Built to take a committee from setup to a closed, approved record:
- Setup by and date, and the Focus-ABC committee members
- Scope of review - the specific issues for investigation or consideration
- Review / investigation summary - a numbered account of what was examined
- Summary / conclusions - the committee's overall findings
- Recommended actions tracker - details of each item or issue raised and the action taken
- Review / approval / closure - confirmation the committee has concluded and is no longer active
Who Needs a Focus ABC Committee Form?
Any organisation operating an anti-bribery management system, working towards ISO 37001 certification, or handling a bribery concern serious or complex enough to need more than one reviewer's judgement. It gives top management or the governing body a clear, closed-out record of what the committee considered and what it decided.
Included in the ISO 37001 Toolkit
This form is part of the ISO 37001 Toolkit - the full anti-bribery management system document set - and the combined alphaZ ISO toolkits that include ISO 37001.
Pairs with the Bribery Concerns Assessment
A committee is typically convened once a F-AB2 Bribery Concerns Assessment recommends wider consideration, tracing back to the original F-AB1 Bribery Concerns Report. Related form: F-AB4 Bribery Due Diligence Review.
