Anti-bribery and corruption digital assessment

Anti-bribery and corruption legislation is driving companies to have active management of their ethics and compliance issues, as well as oversight of the performance of their third parties. GoodCorporation's digital assessment provides organisations with the opportunity to identify key gaps in their compliance programme, as well as providing tailored recommendations for how they can reduce the risks in, or to, their organisation.  

The first step will be to register your organisation and decide whether you need a verified or unverified assessment. Following this, your organisation will receive a unique questionnaire link which will allow you to answer a series of 90+ tick-box questions about your compliance programme, policies and procedure. After submitting the questionnaire, a report will be generated by GoodCorporation*. 

*If the verified assessment is completed, GoodCorporation’s anti-bribery and corruption experts will review the documentary evidence uploaded before your report is generated. 

The questions in the assessment are based on the GoodCorporation  Anti-Bribery and Corruption framework. This framework  lists the key responsible practices a business should have in place to ensure all bribery and corruption risks are addressed, as well as the policies and  procedures necessary to support them. 

A report will be generated indicating gaps in your organisation’s compliance programme and providing your organisation with tailored recommendations based on the aforementioned results. 

Unverified assessments are a useful first step to benchmark your organisation’s compliance maturity. It is relatively quick to complete (average reported time was an hour) and cost effective.

However, a verified assessment will have more value to stakeholders and should be the goal for an organisation serious about addressing risks in its supply chain.  

Any device which can access the internet, though we recommend using a computer. 

For an organisation with a mature compliance programme in place, the unverified assessment takes approximately an hour to complete.

The verified assessment takes up to two hours, as it requires documentary evidence to be uploaded.

For organisations at the start of their compliance journey, times may be more variable.

We recommend the assessment to be completed by the individual responsible for compliance, such as a Compliance officer or Legal Director. 

If you do not have a Compliance officer or Legal director, please contact GoodCorporation to discuss who may be best placed within your organisation to complete the assessment.

There is no set period of time in which you would need to repeat this assessment, however we would recommend it be used as part of an annual risk assessment for your organisation to understand its own ABC risks/that of its supply chain. GoodCorporation will also be able to advise based on your risk and gaps how frequently the assessment should be conducted.  

The assessment does not award a single, final grade, but evaluates the overall adequacy of your ABC policies and procedures. The report that will be generated will indicate your organisation’s performance against the points in the ABC framework, providing you with one of the four recommendations: 

• No action required;
• Improvement recommended;
• Action required;
• Significant action required 

There is no minimum or maximum number of organisations that can the tool can be deployed in. For the third party report, the maximum number of suppliers we would include is 20, but multiple third part reports can be generated based on the total number of suppliers who participate.   

Please contact GoodCorporation for pricing. Pricing varies based on number of assessments required, whether it is a verified or unverified assessment and how bespoke the assessment and report need to be.
