The self-assessment workbook is organized across seven process areas: leadership and policy, risk assessment, due diligence, training and communication, reporting and investigation, monitoring and review, and continual improvement. Practitioners use it to evaluate current practices, identify gaps, and build improvement plans. Each requirement is phrased as a case-based question to guide practical application. Example questions include: 'Is there a documented process for assessing bribery risks in new markets?', 'Are third-party contracts required to include anti-bribery clauses?', and 'Is there a mechanism for employees to report concerns without fear of retaliation?'
