The score reflects your answers only. It is not an audit opinion or a guarantee that a submission will be accepted.
What the score covers
Ten controls an auditor can test
The questions focus on the practical controls that decide whether a reporting figure can be defended, not just whether it was submitted.
20 points
Evidence
Dated RAM support, recycled-content evidence and reconciliation to commercial records.
30 points
Controls
Reviewer approval, change logs, documented methodology and a reviewer-ready audit pack.
20 points
Scale
Multi-company reporting and custom validation rules that keep quality under control.
What to do with a low score
01 · Start with the weakest category
A low data score usually undermines everything after it. Fix the source record before polishing the presentation.
02 · Assign an owner
Give each priority action a named owner and a date. A gap without an owner is unlikely to close.
03 · Re-score after the fix
Re-run the assessment once the evidence is in place. The movement is a useful check that the fix is real.
FAQ
Audit readiness questions
What the score does and does not tell you.
What does the audit readiness score measure? +
It scores ten practical controls covering data coverage, source evidence, supplier records, RAM evidence, reconciliation, approvals, methodology, audit pack export, multi-company reporting and custom rules.
Is the score an audit opinion? +
No. It is a self-assessment to help prioritise work before an audit or regulator query. It does not replace independent assurance or regulator guidance.
How is the audit readiness score calculated? +
Each of the ten questions is scored from zero to ten across four categories: data, evidence, controls and scale. The total is a score out of 100.
Do I need to enter company data? +
No. The assessment does not ask for company, supplier or packaging data, and answers stay in your browser.
What should I do after getting my score? +
Start with the weakest category and the three priority actions. Then gather the source evidence behind the affected figures and assign an owner and deadline to each gap.
