Key Pillars of an ABAC Program

Bribery and corruption can permeate all levels of an organization, especially in international businesses and those engaging with government officials. Comprehensive frameworks like the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), SAPIN II, and the U.K. Bribery Act provide robust guidelines for combating these issues globally. These regulations offer best practices for identifying, avoiding, reporting, and preventing corrupt activities, including:

Leadership and Commitment

Top leadership must set a zero-tolerance stance for bribery and corruption, actively support the ABAC program, and foster an ethical culture.

Risk Assessment

Regular, thorough risk assessments identify and evaluate bribery and corruption risks, allowing targeted mitigation strategies.

Policies and Procedures

Clear, comprehensive ABAC policies covering areas like gifts, hospitality, and third-party due diligence are essential.

Training and Communication

Ongoing training and clear communication ensure employees understand ABAC policies, the importance of compliance, and how to report issues.

Third-Party Management

Conduct risk-based due diligence and monitor third parties, including suppliers and agents, to ensure they adhere to ABAC standards.

Monitoring and Auditing

Regular monitoring and auditing to help track compliance, review controls, and detect issues.

Reporting and Investigation

A robust reporting mechanism, such as a whistleblower hotline, allows confidential reporting of suspected bribery and corruption.

Continuous Improvement

Regularly evaluate and update the ABAC program to adapt to regulatory changes and learn from past incidents​.

Challenges building an ABAC program

Compliance teams are often caught in an unfair fight against bribery and corruption. Despite their hard work, they're often hampered by tight budgets and small teams, making it difficult to maintain effective compliance initiatives. The tangled web of organizational structures, siloed systems, and outdated processes only adds to the struggle, preventing clear visibility and consistency. On top of this, ever-changing regulations expand their responsibilities faster than their resources can match. Fighting corruption is important and compliance teams deserve better.

What Our Customers Say

The other piece that I really liked about GAN, related to the investigations and the case management, was that it was pretty simple and straightforward. For a company like ours, which is a manufacturing company, we’re averaging somewhere between 20 and 30 cases coming in a month. We don’t need a lot of complexity. We need it to be pretty simple, straightforward, and easy to use. And that was one of the things that really appealed to me about GAN.
