BS10500: Specification for an anti-bribery management system (ABMS)
BS10500:2011 outlines a systematic approach to managing bribery that encourages you to monitor and improve your controls routinely in proportion to the risks you face so that you'll be able to identify and address vulnerabilities before they have a chance to escalate.
The standard applies to organisations of all sizes, sectors and locations and is relevant to businesses in both the public and private sector. The anti-bribery standard is highly recommended for those working in industries with a greater exposure to risk, such as construction, engineering, defence, mining and utilities.

The systematic approach detailed in the standard enables you to identify risks that are faced by your organisation regarding bribery and make sure that policies, procedures and practices and reviewed are improved over time.
