Designed to be easily and cost-effectively deployed by compliance and legal teams across:

third parties
Anti-bribery and corruption digital assessment
Companies are under growing pressure to ensure that adequate procedures to prevent corruption are firmly in place, not just across their own organisation, but in subsidiaries and throughout the supply chain. With many businesses dependent on a complex web of suppliers and third parties, this can be both daunting and challenging.
To help businesses meet these demands, GoodCorporation has developed a digital self-assessment tool that can be deployed cost-effectively by legal and compliance teams across supply chains, partners or subsidiaries. It provides a fast and easy means of properly testing the effectiveness of anti-bribery practices and procedures.
How can a digital assessment help manage corruption risks?
GoodCorporation’s digital assessment tool provides an excellent starting point for any third party anti-bribery and corruption compliance programme. It comprises a customised questionnaire based on our Anti-Bribery and Corruption (ABC) Framework that can be used internally or deployed across supply chains, partners or subsidiaries to check that adequate procedures to prevent corruption are in place. Such in-depth due diligence can help protect reputation and reduce the risk of prosecution or malpractice.

Use of this anti-bribery and corruption digital assessment tool facilitates in-depth supply chain due diligence by providing an evaluation of the adequacy of the anti-corruption compliance programmes of third parties and related entities. It also provides benchmarking data to help companies monitor corruption risks in their supply chain effectively.
An online anti-bribery and corruption due diligence tool tailored to your needs and risk profile
Participating companies complete a detailed questionnaire on key ABC areas including: –
Top-level commitment to prevent bribery
Communication and training of ABC policies
Understanding corruption risks
Implementation of anti-bribery procedures
Robust compliance and monitoring
Questions follow a simple multiple choice format based on GoodCorporation’s ABC framework.
A full report of results and benchmarked data is produced for participating organisations, to assess compliance against the GoodCorporation framework.
It highlights gaps, red flags and the extent to which adequate policies and procedures are in place.
A summary report is also available providing client companies with a benchmarked comparative analysis of the suppliers, subsidiaries or partners assessed.
GoodCorporation’s online reports provide a score card with four grades alongside specific recommendations for improvement.
If necessary, many of the recommendations can be addressed using GoodCorporation’s Compliance Toolkit which offers a suite of resources that compliance teams can use to strengthen their programmes.
A third party report will identify higher risk third parties to enable risks to be prioritised.

Five reasons why supply chain due diligence has become an essential requirement
Regulatory pressure from legislation such as the UK Bribery Act and France’s Loi Sapin II making organisations accountable for the activities of third parties acting on their behalf
Increasing reporting requirements demanding that businesses report on the steps taken to have active oversight of their suppliers compliance procedures
Investors too are starting to compel companies to evidence the measures in place to mitigate corruption and other risks in the supply chain
Increased chance of reputational damage as a result of malpractice in the supply chain
Increasing pressure from customers and employees on companies to evidence ethical management of their supply chain
