Example Output
Example 1: Risk Assessment Summary
| Business Unit | Corruption Risk Level | Top Risks | Recommended Controls |
|---|---|---|---|
| International Sales | High | Facilitation payments, agent impropriety | Pre-approval matrix, agent compliance audits |
| Government Relations | Very High | Political contributions, public official entertainment | Board approval process, gift registry |
| Procurement | Medium | Vendor conflicts of interest, improper inducements | Competitive bidding, supplier attestations |
Example 2: Anti-Corruption Policy Framework
- Anti-Bribery & Corruption Policy (scope, prohibited conduct, consequences)
- Gifts, Entertainment & Hospitality Policy (thresholds by country, approval limits)
- Third-Party Management Policy (due diligence triggers, audit rights)
- Reporting & Investigation Policy (hotline, confidentiality, non-retaliation)
Example 3: Audit Test Program
- Control: Pre-approval of third-party payments exceeds $50K
- Test: Sample 30 payments > $50K; verify board approval prior to payment (100% tested)
- Evidence: Approval documentation in contract file
- Finding: 2/30 payments lacked evidence of pre-approval (design gap identified)
