Quick answer
The Anti-Bribery and Corruption Screening template is a pre-built compliance & risk workflow used to screen counterparties for bribery and corruption exposure with a documented decision. It runs across 6 stages, from screening requested to recorded and monitored, captures 8 standard fields including counterparty and intermediary use, and applies 4 automations so routing, checks and record-keeping happen without manual chasing.
How the Anti-Bribery and Corruption Screening template works
The Anti-Bribery and Corruption Screening template turns an informal process into a structured one. Instead of tracking each ABC screening across email, spreadsheets and chat, every request enters one workflow with 8 fields captured at submission, 6 stages that make the current status obvious, and approval routing that reaches the compliance officer automatically. compliance officers get a single view of what is open, what is waiting and what is closed. The template is built for compliance teams in financial services and connects to SharePoint and Zapro Vendor Master, so records stay aligned with the systems finance already relies on.
The problem it solves. Screening is done inconsistently by country, so exposure in higher-risk jurisdictions goes unmeasured. This template gives the process a single front door and a trail that holds up in an audit.
How an ABC screening moves through the workflow
Every ABC screening follows the same 6 stages, so anyone can see where a record is without asking. Stages, owners and exit conditions are configurable if your policy differs.
-
Screening requested
The ABC screening is raised at onboarding or re-run whenever the counterparty details change.
-
Data gathered
Legal entity, ownership, jurisdiction and beneficial owner details are collected in a structured form.
-
Automated checks
Checks run against the configured sources and the raw results are stored against the record.
-
Manual review of hits
Potential matches are reviewed by a named analyst, with the rationale for clearing or escalating recorded.
-
Decision
The compliance officer approves, rejects or approves with conditions, and the decision is time-stamped.
-
Recorded and monitored
The outcome is filed against the vendor and re-screening is scheduled on the agreed cadence.
Every field the Anti-Bribery and Corruption Screening template captures
These 8 fields are pre-configured on the intake form. Mandatory rules, picklists and validation are already applied, so an ABC screening cannot progress with gaps in it.
- Counterparty
- Jurisdiction
- Government affiliation
- Politically exposed persons
- Intermediary use
- Screening results
- Analyst decision
- Approval
Automations that ship with this template
Jurisdiction risk weighting
Configured once during setup, then enforced consistently on every record without further effort.
Politically exposed person checks
It triggers the moment the condition is met, so nothing waits on someone noticing it first.
Analyst review with recorded rationale
This runs as a built-in rule, which removes the follow-up chasing that usually surrounds it.
Periodic rescreening by risk level
Zapro applies this to every ABC screening as it enters the workflow, so nobody has to remember to do it.

Anti-Bribery and Corruption Screening template FAQs
What is the Anti-Bribery and Corruption Screening template?
It is a pre-built compliance & risk workflow in Zapro that lets compliance teams screen counterparties for bribery and corruption exposure with a documented decision. Each ABC screening is captured on an 8-field form, moves through 6 stages with a named owner at each step, and is supported by 4 automations covering routing, validation and record updates.
How long does the Anti-Bribery and Corruption Screening template take to set up?
Most teams have it running in about 45 minutes. The stages, fields and automations are already configured, so setup is mainly adjusting approval thresholds, field labels and owner assignments to match your own policy.
Who uses the Anti-Bribery and Corruption Screening template?
Primarily compliance officers, working with risk managers and legal counsel. It is most commonly used by compliance teams in financial services, though the workflow itself is not sector-specific.
Can assessment depth vary by supplier tier?
Yes. Questionnaire length and evidence requirements are driven by risk tier, so low-risk suppliers are not put through an enterprise-grade assessment.
Is re-assessment automatic?
Yes. Zapro schedules the next assessment based on tier and last review date, and raises it without anyone tracking dates manually.
