Audit Cost & Risk Calculator
Put your own numbers against our published rates. Every figure below is either a rate from our price list or an estimate you control. Nothing is hidden in the arithmetic. Built for manufacturers of all kinds: chemical, automotive, industrial and beyond.
Your Estimates
Certification already suspended? That needs the Audit Rescue Package: .
At the published rate of £650 per on-site day. Remote half-days are £375. No travel charge in Sussex, Surrey, Kent, Hampshire or London; elsewhere it's 45p a mile from Brighton plus accommodation at cost where an overnight stay is needed.
Think lost contracts, remediation time and re-audit fees. Only you know this number, and we don't pretend to.
The default just reflects your certification status. Adjust it to your own judgement.
Assumes findings are actually closed out. An audit you shelve removes nothing.

Internal Audit Cover vs hiring a full-time quality manager
£45,360/yr difference
Internal Audit Cover at the published £220/month (£2,640/year) against a typical UK QA manager salary of £48,000. Different scopes: Internal Audit Cover is not a full-time hire, but for many SMEs it covers what's actually needed.
How this is calculated
Rates (£650/day, £375 remote half-day, £220/month Internal Audit Cover) are our published prices. The incident cost, likelihood and risk-reduction figures are your estimates, set on the sliders. This tool does no more than the arithmetic on them. It's an aid to thinking, not a promise of savings.
