The long view, in annual and quarterly filings

A 10-K or 10-Q is a periodic report, so this counts how often the phrase appears in routine annual and quarterly reporting. It moves far more slowly and the numbers are larger. Every month since 2008. The last point is the current month and is still filling, so it always looks lower than it will be.

What it obligates

No control in the corpus names this term directly. Recorded rather than filled with a guess.

ISO 37001:2016 Anti-bribery Management System Evidence & Implementation Kit

39 controls sit behind ISO 37001:2016, and this is the documentation set for them: an adopt-ready artifact per control, and the evidence an auditor asks for against each.

The same set every buyer of this kit receives. Nothing here is produced on request.

first appears Feb 2008 2008 2026 25 filings in the busiest month
Whistleblower Program in 10-K and 10-Q filings, by month. The marked line is the first month any public company in our record used the phrase; everything left of it is nobody writing it down.

What this actually means

Why now
27 public companies wrote this into an 8-K in the last seven days, 16% fewer than the seven before. That is not sentiment or a survey. It is a count of companies choosing to put a phrase into a document they are legally accountable for.
Who already cares
13 open US roles name this work today, which suggests increased attention to it beyond what any filing says. A job advertisement clears a budget holder and a filing clears legal, so the two answer to different people. We have not measured which moves first, only that both are moving.
What comes into scope
Once the phrase is on the record it maps to obligations within ISO 37001:2016, ISO 37002:2021, ISO 37001. 94 controls behind those, and the difference between asserting them and evidencing them is the whole of the work.
Who is quietly ahead
Anyone already running ISO 37001:2016 has done 75 of the controls that carry ISO 9001:2015 too. Same evidence, second standard. Most organisations run those as two programmes with two budgets because nobody told them the mapping existed.
Who is exposed
8 companies disclosed this for the first time in the last ninety days, out of 199 in total. A first mention is a company deciding it can no longer not say it. Whoever has not yet is either genuinely unaffected or has not looked, and nothing here distinguishes the two.

What this obligates

The instruments in our corpus that govern this disclosure, and how many controls sit behind each. This is not a filing count. It is what applies once a company has written the phrase down.

What closing it also moves

The same controls appear in other frameworks through mappings held in our corpus. Work done here is already progress there. This is the part that is not in EDGAR and not in any public dataset: it comes from mappings built and verified by hand, control by control.

Where this comes from

The left half is public record: SEC full-text search over 8-K filings, counted across a 14 day window against the equivalent window before it. You can check every row.

The right half is ours: 723 frameworks and 20,473 controls, 531 of those frameworks verified against their source documents, with the auditor evidence and common failure modes recorded control by control. Controls appear here because their own text names this term.
