Business Principles for Countering Bribery - Transparency International Self-Evaluation Tool

Transparency International’s Self-Evaluation Tool (TI SET) is a checklist that enables companies to examine the design of their anti-bribery programme and assess its effectiveness. Comprising an in-depth and extensive range of indicators, SET identifies the policies, procedures and reporting indicators that companies should consider for their anti-bribery programmes. This will help companies to determine where they stand, identify improvements and prepare reports to management, assurers and stakeholders. In this way TI SET can assist companies to manage risks more effectively and improve their operational efficiency. TI SET is aimed at larger companies but can also be of use to smaller companies wishing to check particular aspects of anti-bribery.
An interactive diagnostic version of TI SET has been developed by TI and Enablon, a leading software company. This can be purchased from http://www.enablon.com.
