Audit Finding Closure Rate at 99% target closure rate: a worked example
What does the result look like when target closure rate reaches 99%? The full calculation is worked below with real intermediate numbers. Use it to track closure rate against target in Safety & Workforce.
The inputs for this scenario
- Audit findings closed: 42 findings (unchanged)
- Total audit findings raised: 50 findings (unchanged)
- Target closure rate: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 95)
Working through the calculation
- Applying the documented formula (Closure rate = findings closed ÷ total findings × 100) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
- At this operating point the engine returns 84 % for closure rate, the number this scenario is built around.
- At this operating point the engine returns 15 points for gap to target.
- At this operating point the engine returns 42 count for findings closed.
- At this operating point the engine returns 50 count for total findings.
How this compares with the baseline
- Against the tool's baseline example, where target closure rate sits at 95% and the headline result is 84 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 84 %.
- A figure at this level is achievable when target closure rate is genuinely sustained, not just peaked for a shift. Closure counts do not verify effectiveness — a finding marked closed with a weak fix can recur, so pair the rate with verification and recurrence checks.
Results at a glance
- Closure rate: 84 % (headline result)
- Gap to target: 15 points
- Findings closed: 42 count
- Total findings: 50 count
