Some improvements needed

audit rating yellow

Partially Effective
Major improvements needed

audit rating orange

Ineffective

audit rating red

Effective: No significant and/or material issue(s), or few moderate/minor issues noted. Internal controls, governance and risk management processes are adequately designed, well implemented, and effective, to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives will be met.

Partially Effective: Some improvements needed: Few significant issue(s), or some moderate issues noted. Internal controls, governance and risk management practices are adequately designed and well implemented, but a limited number of issues were identified that may present a moderate risk to the achievement of the objectives.

Partially Effective: Major improvements needed: Significant and/or material issues noted. Internal controls, governance and risk management practices are generally implemented, but have some weaknesses in design or operating effectiveness such that, until they are addressed, there is no reasonable assurance that the objectives are likely to be met.

Ineffective: Multiple significant and/or (a) material issue(s) noted. Internal controls, governance and risk management processes are not adequately designed and/or are not generally effective. The nature of these issues is such that the achievement of objectives is seriously compromised.
