Summary Output

Helps firms review the summary result and understand their maturity level and review readiness.

How to determine the Firm's Maturity Level

  1. Enter the score in Column G of the ""Self Evaluation"" tab.
  2. A grey cell in column G indicates that the user has inadvertently not assigned any score for that particular sub-section and therefore a score has to be filled by him/her.
  3. Column ""B"" of the tab ""Summary"" indicates the count of zeroes under each section. Users are therefore advised to re-check whether a score other than zero needs to be assigned.
  4. After completion of steps 1,2 & 3 above, the ""Summary"" tab indicates whether the firm is eligible for AQMM review or not. In case it is eligible, the level of firm is ascertained under this tab."
