Attended the "Adequate Procedures Compliance (Checklist)" session with ABAC Center of Excellence Limited (Certification Body) and on behalf of QHSEL Consultancy Sdn. Bhd.
The workshop was highly value-adding, providing a strong complement to the ABMS ISO 37001 framework, which is now (2026) mandatory for certain categories of companies, corporate sectors, GLCs, and segments of the civil service, while also serving as a practical guideline for other organisations aiming to enhance their governance and anti-corruption practices.
APCC relates to the anti-corruption measures that Malaysian commercial organisations are required to implement under Section 17A of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009. Guided by the “T.R.U.S.T” principles (Top-level commitment, Risk assessment, Undertake control measures, Systematic review, and Training) these procedures form an important legal defence mechanism against bribery.
The session was both insightful and productive, with participants comprising corporate entities at various stages those preparing for certification, in the process of implementation, and those already certified. The (invite-only) programme was organised by Transparency International-Malaysia, an organisation well-recognised for its work in promoting integrity and accountability internationally.
My appreciation to all the speakers including The President of TI Malaysia, Mr. Raymon Ram, many of whom are also experienced assessors and legal practitioners, for their valuable insights. I would highly recommend this workshop to organisations seeking to strengthen their anti-corruption framework.
