Scoring Methodology

How Your Score Is Calculated

1

Pillar Weighting

Pillar 1 (Internal Controls) and Pillar 5 (CDD) are weighted at 25% each. The remaining three pillars share the remaining 50%.

2

Per-Question Scoring

Each answer maps to a score 0–100. Pillar scores are the mean of all answered questions in that pillar.

3

Critical Gap Detection

Missing BSA officer, no written policy, no annual training, no independent testing, and no risk assessment are flagged as critical regardless of overall score.

Score Thresholds

0–59% — Examination Risk

Significant deficiencies. Immediate remediation required.

60–79% — Needs Improvement

Moderate deficiencies. Address before next examination.

80–100% — Exam Ready

Adequate controls. Continue monitoring and annual updates.
