This Corruption Risk Management Questionnaire is designed to identify, assess and mitigate corruption risks across operations. This tool delves into critical areas such as anti-corruption controls, compliance programs, foreign business transactions and relationships with third-party representatives. It provides a structured framework for evaluating exposure to corruption in high-risk regions, assessing the effectiveness of compliance measures, and ensuring adherence to legal and regulatory standards. By prompting organizations to reflect on key questions ranging from the adequacy of internal controls to the transparency of third-party dealings, the questionnaire empowers businesses to uncover vulnerabilities and strengthen their defenses against corruption.

What sets this tool apart is its practical, action-oriented approach. It encourages users to evaluate their organization's risk profile holistically, considering factors like cultural and regulatory environments, interactions with foreign officials, and the integrity of financial processes. It also emphasizes the importance of management's role in fostering a strong ethical tone at the top and swiftly addressing allegations of misconduct. Whether your organization operates locally or globally, this resource offers valuable insights to enhance prevention, detection and response capabilities.
