CORRUPTION RISK MANAGEMENT THE METHODOLOGY TCC© 2018 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 14

ISO 37001: 2016 ABMS ISO 37001: 2016 Anti-Bribery Management System Section 4. 5: requires that an organization shall establish criteria for evaluating its level of bribery risk, which shall take into account the organization’s policies and objectives. In conducting the bribery risk assessment, the organization shall: a) identify the bribery risks the organization might reasonably anticipate, given the factors listed in 4. 1: Understanding the organisation and its context; b) analyse, assess and prioritize the identified bribery risks; and c) evaluate the suitability and effectiveness of the organization’s existing controls to mitigate the assessed bribery risks. CRM 2. 0@2017 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 15

ISO 37001: 2016 ABMS ISO 37001: 2016 Anti-Bribery Management System Section 4. 5 also recommended that the bribery risk assessment shall be reviewed: a) on a regular basis so that changes and new information can be properly assessed based on timing and frequency defined by the organization; and b) in the event of a significant change to the structure or activities of the organization. CRM 2. 0@2017 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 16

ISO 37001: 2016 ABMS 4. 1 Understanding the organization and its context The organization shall determine external and internal issues that are relevant to its purpose and that affect its ability to achieve the objectives of its anti-bribery management system. These issues will include, the following factors: The size, structure and delegated decision-making authority of the organization; The locations and sectors in which the organization operates or anticipates operating; The nature, scale and complexity of the organization activities and operations; The organization’s business model; The entities over which the organization has control, and entities which exercise control over the organization; The organization business associates; The nature and extent of interactions with public officials; Applicable statutory, regulatory, contractual and professional obligations and duties.

Establish Context Basically, we ask: What does INTEGRITY mean for the organization? How does the organization DEMONSTRATE INTEGRITY? Where are the priority areas in CORRUPTION PREVENTION? TCC© 2018 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 20

Establish Context – Level of Integrity Sources of information: • Internal sources: • Internal audit reports • Integrity surveys • Whistleblowing/ complaint reports • External sources: • Auditors General reports • MACC’s complaint reports • MACC’s investigation summary reports Categories Description Satisfactory Need improvement In crisis TCC© 2018 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED None or minimal number of integrity issues. External stakeholders generally consider the organisation as a trusted organisation. Internal stakeholders generally understand aware of the importance of integrity. Tolerable level of integrity issues External stakeholders generally accept some minor issues of trust; agreed that some improvement needed Internal stakeholders are committed to improvements Major integrity issues exposed External stakeholders raise major concerns about the trustworthiness of the management Internal stakeholders are ignorant, complacence or against the implementation of corruption prevention measures Suggested guidance for action plans Safeguarding Proactive actions Drastic and immediate actions 21

Risk Matrix (5 x 5) Likelihood of Occurrence Almost certain Significant High Moderate Significant High Moderate Low Moderate Significant High Unlikely Low Moderate Significant High Rare Low Moderate Significant Insignificant Minor Moderate Major Catastrophic Likely Magnitude of Impact Risk is measured in terms of likelihood of occurrence & consequence upon occurrence TCC© 2018 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 35

Risk Rating - Risk Parameters Risk measurement – Impact & Likelihood Risk appetite is the amount of risk, on a broad level, that an organization is willing to accept in pursuit of value. Risk tolerance / Risk appetite • • • Likelihood TCC© 2018 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Impact Determine the amount of risk an enterprise able to take Risk tolerance determined up-front with board of directors or those incharge of governance Allow enterprises to have a means to identify which risks are most critical and important for them to focus on and allocate the resources 36

Risk ratings HIGH Risk with high impact and high likelihood of occurrence. Controls are not effective or the causes are from external factors. Require immediate risk action plans to reduce the exposure of the risk. SIGNIFICANT A priority risk with high impact and high likelihood of occurrence. Require risk action plans to reduce the exposure of the risk if necessary. MODERATE LOW TCC© 2018 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Moderate and Low risks are considered manageable risks where the controls are working as intended, or the inherent risk is already as moderate level. No risk action plans are required. Continuous monitoring of the controls are important. 37

Effectiveness of existing controls (Section 4. 5 (c) ) Determine controls effectiveness of existing controls in managing a particular corruption risk Satisfactory Controls are strong & operating properly, providing a reasonable level of assurance that objectives are being achieved. Some weakness Some control weaknesses/inefficiencies have been identified. No serious risk exposure but improvements are required to provide reasonable assurance that objectives will be achieved. Weak Controls do not meet an acceptable standard, as many weaknesses/inefficiencies exist. Controls do not provide reasonable assurance that objectives will be achieved. TCC© 2018 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 38

Inherent risk is assessed without the consideration of controls in place at the enterprise, These are the risks that come by virtue of having the business operations. Ask the question : “How likely the corruption scheme would happen, in the environment that controls are insufficient? “ TCC© 2018 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 39

Residual risk rating Residual risk = Inherent risk – controls After rating the effectiveness of internal controls that reduce the risk of each corruption scheme, next is to determine the level of residual risk Residual risk is ranked based on the same basis of inherent risk A High residual risk –> controls are not effective A Moderate or Low residual risk –> controls are working as intended, or the inherent risk is already as moderate level. This is considered a manageable risk. TCC© 2018 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 40

internal controls - Definition Internal control is a process, effected by an entity’s board of directors, management, and other personnel, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of objectives relating to operations, reporting, and compliance.

IDENTIFY RISK Step 1 – Identify corruption risk Step 2 (a) – Determine corruption schemes / causes TCC© 2018 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 44

Step 1 – Identify corruption risk Step 2 a – Determine schemes / causes Risk title: #1 False claims - abuse of power in approving progress payments Description: Construction project, example, a new prison Corrupt practices in progress payments. For example, 80% to 90% of project’s costs was paid to contractor when it only had completed less than 40% of the project. Arising from abuse of power and taking advantage in the weaknesses in VO procedures. Corruption schemes: 1 Process/ Risk Category: Construction Project Management Risk Owner: 2 a 1) Collusion between Project Manager and Project Owner, through the appointment of a “professional” negotiator, to claim for progress payments over incomplete work. 2) Project awarded through direct negotiation without adhering to the guidelines on contractors selection procedures. A favoured contractor with past poor performance was selected. Root causes: 1) Lack of monitoring and enforcement of the contract terms. Contractor was not reprimanded for delay and incomplete work. Potentially, conflict of interest involved. 2) Taking the opportunity when the project owner undergoing a shortage of technical competency to properly inspect and verify the progress of the construction. 3) Taking advantage of the loopholes in VO claims – there is a lack of clear guidelines as to the maximum amount of VO or number of times allowable. 4) Corrupt practices were not reported as there is a lack of trust over the whistle blowing channel. TCC© 2018 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 45

Step 1 – Identify corruption risk Step 2 a – Determine schemes / causes Examples of corruption risks - Procurement Potential corruption risks Soliciting bribe from third parties with a promise of obtaining successful works Accepting bribe to manipulate pre-qualification process – eg. approving a nonperforming contractor, suppliers Selecting third parties who has personal interest Accepting bribe in return of disclosing price sensitive information to third parties Collusion between insider and third parties to tailor the tender requirements to suit the third party for a successful tender Misuse of position to influence tender committee TCC© 2018 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 46

Step 1 – Identify corruption risk Step 2 a – Determine schemes / causes Procurement Corruption Schemes - examples In a bidding round, the terms of reference (including technical specifications) are biased to favour one supplier or to exclude potential competitors Bribe solicitation for confidential information during pre-bidding or bidding stage Intermediary offers company to win bidding upon payment of loser’s fee during prebidding or bidding stage local government agency demands a fee for technical approval of equipment Approving false tender information in the selection of suppliers with personal interest in the supplier company Collusion in selecting maintenance / service vendors for a kick-backs in continuing a maintenance contract Collusion to approving a low quality / off-spec supply for a kick-backs TCC© 2018 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 47

Step 1 – Identify corruption risk Step 2 a – Determine schemes / causes “Corruption” Corrupt practices which involve the offering, promising, giving, receiving or soliciting, directly or indirectly, anything of value to influence improperly the actions of another party, by misusing the position in which they are placed. Corruption practices are described as follows: • Accept/receiving bribe • Offer/gives bribe • Using office or position for bribe TCC© 2018 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 48

IDENTIFY RISK Step 2 (b) – Determine consequences of risk TCC© 2018 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 53

Step 2 b – Determine consequences Risk title: #1 2 b False claims - abuse of power in approving progress payments Consequences/ Impact Consequences: • Has direct relation to risk appetite 1. Project was delayed – for example a prison project where a 3 -year project was delayed for 7 years, abandoned, and needed re-work. • Often link to key performance indicators 2. Financial loss – Prison Project: additional re-work costs of RM 55 mil or 34% more (original costs 165 mil) 3. Poor quality of the project –not fulfilling the safety and security requirements of a prison. • Will link to impact measurement in step 3 and 6 4. Project objective, for example, on providing prison services was delayed or not achieve in time. TCC© 2018 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 54
