The 994+ Requirements Workbook
The self-assessment workbook is organized across seven process areas: leadership, risk assessment, due diligence, training, monitoring, incident management, and continual improvement. Practitioners use it to evaluate current practices, identify gaps, and build improvement plans using case-based questions that reflect real-world compliance scenarios. Example questions include: 'Does the organization require documented approval for payments to government officials?', 'Are third parties in high-risk countries subject to enhanced due diligence?', and 'Is there a process for employees to report concerns without fear of retaliation?'
The 20+ Templates
The toolkit includes editable templates in Excel and Word such as the anti-bribery policy, risk assessment matrix, third-party due diligence form, incident investigation log, internal audit checklist, training attendance register, and compliance dashboard. These artifacts support consistent documentation, enable repeatable processes, and can be adapted to fit organizational needs without requiring custom development.
Course Outcomes and Certification
Upon completion, you will have produced 3 concrete deliverables built using the toolkit: a completed bribery risk assessment, a documented third-party due diligence process, and an internal audit report.
