MENA FCCG Launches Arabic version of its Private Sector ABC Self-Assessment Tool
The MENA Financial Crime Compliance Group (MENA FCCG), in collaboration with the Global Coalition to Fight Financial Crime (GCFFC) – MENA Chapter, proudly announces the launch of the Arabic version of its Private Sector Anti-Bribery and Corruption (ABC) Self-Assessment Tool. Now accessible in both English and Arabic via the MENA FCCG website, the launch marks the completion of a landmark dual-sector initiative that began with the introduction of the MENA Region ABC Dashboard in 2025.
A Partnership Across Sectors
The fight against bribery and corruption cannot be achieved by governments or businesses alone. Meaningful progress requires a genuine partnership — one grounded in shared responsibility, openness, and trust. When the public sector strengthens institutions, enforces laws fairly, and champions transparency, and when the private sector embraces ethical business practices and rigorous self-governance, an enabling ecosystem emerges — one in which corruption finds no space to grow.
Recognizing this imperative, the MENA FCCG developed the Private Sector ABC Self-Assessment Tool to elevate standards, guide institutions, and support continuous improvement — completing a two-part framework that now serves both sectors across the region.
The Private Sector ABC Self-Assessment Tool
The Private Sector ABC Self-Assessment Tool is an innovative, automated platform designed to empower organizations to independently evaluate the strength and maturity of their ABC Compliance Programs. Structured across 15 assessment areas and 240 evaluation metrics, the tool enables companies to benchmark their programs against international best practices, identify vulnerabilities, and prioritize actions to strengthen their ABC frameworks and affirm their commitment to ethical, transparent operations.
The tool generates a maturity score across five levels — from Not Started to Advanced — providing leadership with a clear, data-driven view of their organization’s ABC health and a roadmap for continuous improvement.
Leadership Perspectives
“With the launch of the MENA Region ABC Dashboard in 2025 and now the Arabic version of the Private Sector ABC Self-Assessment Tool, MENA FCCG has built something genuinely unique — a unified bilingual platform that equips both the public and private sectors with the tools they need to confront bribery and corruption with data, rigor, and shared resolve,” said Michael Matossian, EVP and Chief Compliance Officer Arab Bank, Founder of the MENA FCCG, and Vice Chair of the GCFFC – MENA Chapter.
