📘 How to Use This Calculator
The tool is divided into four interactive tabs that guide you step by step through professional audit risk assessment.
1
Risk Assessment
Adjust likelihood (probability %) + financial impact & severity. Choose framework (ISO27001, SOC2, PCI DSS). Write risk description → click Calculate Risk Score.
2
Red Flag Detection
Select payroll, vendor, ratio, or journal checks → enter financial data → detect anomalies like net payroll >80% of gross or low current ratio.
3
Documentation Guide
Click high-risk areas (Revenue, Access, Vendor, IT Security) to receive tailored evidence checklists and audit trail requirements.
4
Results & Register
View risk score, matrix, recommendations. Export as PDF, print report, or save results. All risks auto-save to Dynamic Risk Register.
Pro tip: Use the checklist on the right side to track progress — each completed item updates the progress bar automatically.
🎯 Why Risk Quantification Matters
Traditional audit checklists often miss the magnitude of exposure. Without a numeric risk score, organizations struggle to prioritize remediation efforts. This calculator bridges that gap by converting qualitative inputs into a repeatable, data-informed risk metric.
Regulatory Alignment
Matches ISO 27001, SOC2, PCI DSS requirements — helps you document risk treatment & demonstrate due diligence.
Fraud & Error Prevention
Red-flag detection catches payroll anomalies, unusual vendor patterns, or liquidity risks before they become crises.
Audit Defense
Risk register logs every assessment with date, score, and mitigation status — perfect for external auditor reviews.
🧮 The Math Behind Risk Scores & Red Flags
Risk Score Formula: (Likelihood %) × (Impact Severity Multiplier)
Impact Severity: 1 (Minor) → 5 (Critical) | Multiplier = severity × 20 → range 20–100
Final Score = Round[ (Likelihood/100) × (severity × 20) × 100 ] capped at 100
Example 1 – Medium Risk
Likelihood = 40% , Impact = "Major" (severity 3 → multiplier 60)
Risk Score = (0.40) × 60 × 100 = 24 → Low-Medium range (24 / 100 → 'Low' category). The matrix shows yellow area → requires monitoring.
Example 2 – Critical Risk
Likelihood = 85% , Impact = "Critical" (severity 5 → multiplier 100)
Risk Score = (0.85) × 100 × 100 = 85 → 'Critical' category. Immediate escalation & mitigation plan required.
Red Flag Math – Payroll Anomaly
Detection condition: (Net Payroll / Gross Payroll) > 0.80 (80% threshold). If net payroll is $540k and gross $600k → ratio = 0.90 → Red flag triggered. Suggests ghost employees or improper withholdings.
Financial Ratio Red Flag
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities. Threshold < 1.5 triggers medium priority; < 1.0 triggers high priority. Example: assets = $1.2M, liabilities = $1.0M → ratio = 1.2 → warning issued for liquidity risk.
All risk scores are normalized & used to generate the interactive risk matrix and tailored recommendations.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I save multiple risk assessments?
Yes – every time you click Calculate Risk Score, a new entry appears in the Dynamic Risk Register (right column). Each entry shows score, category, impact amount, and framework. You can also mitigate or remove risks interactively.
Does this tool replace a full external audit?
No – this is a risk assessment and documentation guidance tool. It helps internal auditors, compliance teams, and business owners identify red flags and structure evidence, but final audit decisions require professional judgment and engagement.
Which compliance frameworks are supported?
ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, plus a configurable Custom option. Recommendations and documentation tips adapt based on selected framework.
How accurate is the red-flag detection?
It uses threshold-based rules (common in audit analytics): payroll net/gross >80% ; current ratio <1.5 ; plus simulated vendor/journal flags. For precise audit work, always cross-reference with source documents.
Can I export the results?
Absolutely. In the “Results” tab, use Export as PDF (print simulation), Print Report (browser print), or Save Results (stores current report in browser storage). The risk register also remains until cleared.
Is the calculator mobile-friendly?
Yes – built with Tailwind CSS responsive grid, touch-friendly buttons, and stacked layout for phones and tablets. All tabs and input fields adjust automatically.
