Training Record Audit Readiness with severity if a training gap is found in audit of 15 score: a worked example

This scenario runs the training record audit readiness calculation on the strong side: severity if a training gap is found in audit of 15 score, with every other input held at its documented default. Use it when training record audit readiness in training, certification and skills compliance needs a defensible ranking against other training, certification and skills compliance risks for the next review.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Severity if a training gap is found in audit: 15 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 6)
  • Likelihood a required training record is missing or expired: 4 score (unchanged)
  • Chance the gap is caught before the auditor finds it: 3 score (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Training record audit readiness risk score = training record audit readiness severity score × training record audit readiness occurrence score × training record audit readiness detection score) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 8.15 score for training record audit readiness risk score, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 15 score for training record audit readiness severity score.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4 score for training record audit readiness occurrence score.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 3 score for training record audit readiness detection score.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where severity if a training gap is found in audit sits at 6 score and the headline result is 4.55 score, this scenario comes in 79.12% above the baseline at 8.15 score.
  • Use it during pre-audit gap analysis or when triaging a backlog of records so you fix the highest-risk gaps first. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.
