Bribery Concerns Assessment Form Template
A structured form for the anti-bribery function to review and assess any bribery concern, however it was raised - through a formal report, verbally, or by any other means. It records the reviewer, the concern being assessed, the investigation findings, and the eventual conclusion.
ISO 37001 requires organisations to investigate and deal appropriately with bribery concerns once raised (clause 8.10, Investigating and Dealing with Bribery). This form documents that the concern was actually looked at, gives a clear yes/no on whether bribery was confirmed, and captures what happened next.
Built for ISO 37001:2025
The form supports the investigation and review requirements of the anti-bribery management system standard:
- Links the assessment back to the original report number for traceability
- Records review and investigation findings against the concern raised
- Captures a clear confirmation of whether attempted or actual bribery occurred
- Documents further action or investigation required, and who reviewed and closed the case
What's Included in this Bribery Concerns Assessment
Set out so a reviewer can work through a concern from report to closure:

- Review / investigation findings - what was established during the review
