PECB Certified ISO 37001 Lead Auditor
Develop the competencies to audit an ABMS against the criteria established by ISO 37001, based on the guidelines of ISO 19011 and requirements of ISO/IEC 17021-1
Why should you take this training course?
Bribery is a phenomenon that has plagued the private and public sector for a long time now. If this problem is not uprooted, economic development, or development in a general sense, is almost impossible. To address bribery and help organizations keep processes in check, ISO has published the ISO 37001 standard, which outlines the requirements for the implementation of an anti-bribery management system (ABMS). PECB training courses, on the other hand, provide you with the methodology – in a very practical sense – needed for implementing and auditing an ABMS.
The PECB Certified ISO 37001 Lead Auditor training course provides the necessary knowledge and skills that enable you to perform anti-bribery management system (ABMS) audits by applying widely recognized audit principles, procedures, and techniques.
Many organizations seek competent auditors to determine whether the policies and anti-bribery controls, implemented as part of an ISO 37001-based ABMS, are effective. This training course aims to help you complete these tasks successfully and intends to reflect the importance of effective ABMS audits. Additionally, it aims to strengthen your knowledge and skills to plan and carry out ABMS audits in compliance with the guidelines for auditing management systems provided in ISO 19011 and the certification process described in ISO/IEC 17021-1.
Why is this training course more desirable than the others?
This course merges theory with practice to facilitate learning and understanding not just of auditing in general, but auditing an ABMS in particular. The general auditing knowledge and best practices are provided by well-known and well-established auditing standards that are applied worldwide.
The exercises, quizzes, and case studies provided are designed to help you practice the most important aspects of an ABMS audit: ISO 37001 requirements, auditing principles, tools and techniques used to obtain evidence, leading a team of auditors, conducting interviews with auditee, reviewing documented information, drafting nonconformity reports, and preparing the final audit report.
What will the certification allow you to do?
The successful completion of the training course is followed by an exam. If you pass the exam, you can apply for the “PECB Certified ISO 37001 Lead Auditor” credential. An IAS accredited and internationally recognized “PECB ISO 37001 Lead Auditor” certificate validates your professional capabilities and demonstrates your ability to audit an ABMS based on ISO 37001.
Certification is the formal recognition and proof of knowledge which carries an important weight when you are entering the labor market, or when you want to advance in your career. A certified ABMS auditor will be able to audit an ABMS, serve as an audit team leader, or provide consultancy services in some cases for the improvement of the ABMS.
