Transparency and management of public life: training to meet the ISO 37001 standard
The Sapin II Law on transparency in public life has established certain criteria for combating corruption within French administrations. The French Anti-Corruption Agency (AFA) has been entrusted with helping public institutions detect breaches of integrity. The AFA plays both an advisory and monitoring role and offers tools to prevent such breaches.

Corruption, influence peddling, bribery, illegal taking of interest, misappropriation of public funds and favouritism are all possibilities that can undermine the integrity of an institution. To prevent any risk and secure the administrations and the image of elected officials, many French communities have taken measures. Currently, 43% of communities have had to deal with cases of breaches of integrity while 80% of them have taken concrete training and control measures within the administration.
Since the work carried out with the AFA after Hurricane Irma in 2019 and to comply with the regulations in force since 2016 with the Sapin II law, the Collectivité of Saint-Martin has continued to strengthen its procedures. Under the aegis of President Louis MUSSINGTON and the Directorate of Public Policy Evaluation and Performance Management, the Collectivité is supported by a consulting firm to implement the only anti-corruption standard recognized internationally, in 167 countries, ISO 37001.
Elected officials and executives of the Collectivité are currently undergoing training to enable them to become more professional and to strengthen the criteria for securing the actions and procedures in force.
After having diagnosed and then mapped the risks, it will ultimately be a question of building a strict internal policy in the fight against corruption and carrying out constant monitoring of the processes in place.
The training of elected officials, executives and technicians is a major step that began in November 2024 and will continue over the next 12 months. From then on, the Collectivité will be able to claim the ISO 37 001 standard and become an exemplary collectivité .

A single voice for Saint-Martin: a decisive step to better respond to the concerns of contributors.

2025 wishes to the vital forces of President Louis Mussington
