Objet de l’information

This disclosure asks an organisation to report the numbers that show how it manages corruption and bribery risks in practice. The focus is on measurable information, such as how many relevant incidents, allegations, investigations, training completions, or other tracked events there are, so readers can see whether the organisation’s anti-corruption controls are active and being used, not just described in policy documents.

In practical terms, the reporting should cover the organisation’s full relevant footprint, not only a few well-controlled or flagship locations, unless the scope is clearly explained. The key question is whether the figures reflect the parts of the business where corruption and bribery risk actually exists, including operations, subsidiaries, and other relevant activities, so users can judge the breadth and consistency of the organisation’s approach.

Préparation

Informations clés à préparer

Champ à préparer Ce qu’il faut recueillir Indice de preuve Responsable
Conviction count Record the total number of convictions that fall within the reporting scope for the period. Court records, legal case logs, compliance register, or a legal affairs summary that reconciles to the final count. Legal / Compliance
Sanction count Capture the total number of sanctions that apply to the reporting scope for the period. Regulatory notices, enforcement tracker, compliance register, or a legal affairs summary that ties to the reported total. Legal / Compliance
Total fines amount Capture the full euro amount of fines that belong in scope for the period, using the same basis across all included items. Penalty notices, finance/legal schedule, or an enforcement summary that reconciles to the euro total reported. Finance / Legal

Comment le préparer

Set the reporting boundary first: decide which parts of the business, subsidiaries, and relevant reporting period are in scope for this disclosure, so the figures and narrative are built from the right population.
Agree what each metric will count before you start collecting data: define how you will treat convictions, sanctions, and monetary penalties, and make sure the same approach is used consistently across the scope.
Gather the underlying records from the source systems and case files: keep the documents that support the count of convictions, the count of sanctions, and the total amount of fines in euros.
Compile the reported values in the required form: provide the two counts as numbers and the fine total as a euro amount, using one consistent basis across the disclosure.
Record any exclusions, adjustments, or changes in method: explain what was left out, what changed from the prior period, and why the reported figures differ from earlier submissions if that applies.
Check the draft against the official source and internal records: confirm the numbers tie back to the evidence, the scope is complete, and the final wording matches the underlying requirement without adding anything extra.

Demander les données

Request the corruption case metrics from Legal / Secretariat

Traduisez l’information en une question métier interne, puis adaptez-la au vocabulaire de votre organisation.

How many corruption or bribery cases in the period ended in a conviction, a sanction, or a financial penalty, and what was the total amount of fines in euros?

Use your organisation’s own case-handling terms first, then map them to the reporting fields. For example, if you track matters as investigations, enforcement actions, settlements, or court outcomes, keep those labels in the request and ask the owner to translate them into the reporting view before sign-off. This is a training template only; adapt it to your organisation and check the source disclosure before sign-off.

Demande faible

Please provide the ESRS G1-4 corruption and bribery metrics for the period, including convictions, sanctions and fines, in line with the disclosure.

Pourquoi elle échoue : It uses framework language instead of the organisation’s own case terms, does not say which register or system to pull from, and leaves the counting basis and currency treatment unclear. That makes it hard for the owner to know what to extract and how to map it.

Meilleure demande

Please provide the [period] case outcome data from your [legal case tracker / compliance register] for the [boundary]. We need the number of matters that ended in a conviction, the number that ended in a sanction, and the total fines in euros. Please keep your normal case labels in the extract and add a short mapping note so we can translate them into the reporting view.

Note méthodologique

State how each figure was counted, what was included in the totals, and the reporting period and scope used to compile the three measures.

Note de contexte

Explain what the counts and euro total indicate about enforcement activity in the period, and whether the monetary amount reflects a small number of large cases or many smaller ones.

Déclaration sur les variations

If the figures moved materially, describe the main drivers, such as changes in case volume, case severity, timing of decisions, or one-off events that affected the totals.

Préparation à l’assurance

Pour chaque affirmation, vérifiez les preuves

Affirmation Risque Preuves à vérifier
We separated out the number of court findings and regulatory penalties linked to bribery or corruption matters for the period, using a clear cut-off date and a single counting rule.The assurer will check whether the two categories were kept distinct, whether the period boundary was applied consistently, and whether the counting method could double-count the same case.Case log or incident register; legal/compliance tracker; period-end extraction showing the cut-off date; documented counting methodology; reconciliation from source cases to the published totals.
We included only matters that met our internal definition of a bribery or corruption breach, and we applied that definition consistently across all business units before aggregating the figures.The assurer will probe whether the inclusion criteria were applied consistently, whether any borderline cases were excluded or included without justification, and whether the scope was complete.Written inclusion criteria; review notes for borderline cases; business-unit submissions; consolidation workbook; sign-off showing the same rule set was used across the group.
We based the published numbers on source records held by legal, compliance, and finance, and we checked that each reported item could be traced back to supporting documentation.The assurer will look for traceability from the published figure to underlying records and will test whether the source files are complete, authentic, and aligned to the final output.Underlying notices, judgments, settlement letters, or penalty records; finance postings where relevant; traceability schedule; document index; evidence of file retention and version control.
Before publication, we reviewed the draft figures against the underlying case files and resolved any mismatches between local records and the consolidated disclosure.The assurer will assess whether pre-publication checks were performed, whether discrepancies were investigated, and whether the final numbers reflect the corrected source data.Draft-to-final comparison; review checklist; discrepancy log and resolution notes; approval emails or sign-off memo; evidence of corrections made before release.
Where a matter involved more than one outcome, we recorded each outcome separately and checked that the total amount reported for monetary penalties matched the supporting finance records.The assurer will test whether outcomes were classified consistently, whether the monetary total is complete, and whether the amount agrees to the accounting or payment evidence.Matter-by-matter schedule; penalty calculation support; payment confirmations or ledger extracts; reconciliation to finance records; reviewer sign-off on the final total.

Dossier de preuves à préparer

Lacunes fréquentes dans les rapports

Units are missing or inconsistent across the figures.
The reporting scope or boundary for the numbers is unclear.
Estimates are not distinguished from measured values.
Parts of the total are double-counted or omitted.
Restatements of prior-period figures are not disclosed.
The calculation method or data source is not documented.

Lacunes fréquentes

Erreurs à éviter lors de la collecte des données

Wrong ownerSending the request to a team that only sees part of the case file means the count is built from incomplete records.
Framework words, not business termsAsking for the figures in disclosure language instead of the organisation’s own case labels makes people pull the wrong dataset or miss relevant entries.
Unclear boundaryNot stating which entities, sites, or case types sit inside the scope leads to some records being left out and others being counted twice.

Là où un jugement professionnel est souvent nécessaire

What counts as a case in the reporting perimeter after a buy or sell transactionDecide whether to include outcomes linked to businesses added or removed during the year, explain the cut-off date used, and make clear if prior-period figures were restated or left as reported.
How to handle local legal labels that do not line up neatly across countriesUse one internal rule for classifying court outcomes, penalties and monetary penalties across jurisdictions, then disclose any country-by-country mapping or simplification you used so readers can see how unlike labels were made comparable.
Whether to include people or entities close to the boundary of controlSet out whether you counted matters involving joint ventures, contractors, agents or other connected parties, and explain the practical test used to decide when a case sits inside or outside the group’s own figures.

Scénarios à travailler

A group’s legal team confirms that one overseas subsidiary was convicted in the reporting year for a bribery-related offence, and a separate regulator issued a financial penalty in the same year for a different anti-corruption breach. The finance team is preparing the year-end disclosure and has to decide how to count each outcome.

QHow should the team treat the conviction and the penalty when completing the corruption-and-bribery metrics for the year?
Afficher la réponse type →

A preparer has two matters on file: one ended with a conviction and a fine, while the other ended with a warning letter and no court case. The draft note currently lists both matters under the same heading because both relate to bribery concerns.

QShould both matters be rolled into one figure, or should they be split across the different data points?
Afficher la réponse type →

During consolidation, one business unit reports a bribery conviction in local currency and another reports a sanction with no monetary amount attached. The group reporting team is unsure whether to leave the euro total blank until all subsidiaries have replied.

QWhat should the team do if there is a conviction or sanction but no fine amount is available for one of the cases?
Afficher la réponse type →

A sustainability analyst finds an internal spreadsheet showing three bribery-related court outcomes, but one was overturned before the reporting date and another was still under appeal at year-end. The draft disclosure currently includes all three because they were all mentioned in incident logs.

QWhich outcomes should be included in the year-end metrics, and why?
