COMPOSITE RISK
Low risk driven by Environmental (moderate — below-average environmental performance (EPI 63/100, Yale 2024)).
Evidence coverage · substantial
The engine sums the available group scores (1), divides by 6, and calibrates the resulting 0–100 base score using the published method. Base 5.6 → published 9/100.
Excluded from the denominator because no current group data is available: Economic Fragility. Missing evidence is not treated as low risk.
Coverage describes available country-level evidence, not confidence in any entity-level decision. See the exact formula and thresholds.
Australia carries a composite risk score of 9 out of 100 on the [S/1] scorecard, placing it in the low risk band as of 24 August 2026. The result is based on 6 of 7 indicator groups (substantial evidence coverage); unavailable groups are excluded rather than treated as low risk. It records a World Bank governance score of 80.5 out of 100 (2024, higher is better), a Transparency International CPI score of 76 out of 100 (2025, higher is cleaner) and an INFORM crisis-risk index of 2.4 out of 10 (2026, higher is worse). Exposure includes 13 sanctions or debarment designations linked to Australia within [S/1]'s 18-source configured coverage model, using the source data currently available. All figures are drawn from official open-data sources and carry their own publication year. This is a country-level screening input, not an entity-level determination.

Australia scores 9 out of 100 on the [S/1] composite risk scorecard, which places it in the low risk band as of 24 August 2026. The result uses 6 of seven indicator groups and has substantial evidence coverage; the unavailable groups are economic fragility. The composite uses the available scores across seven indicator groups: governance, corruption and financial crime, labour and human rights, conflict, sanctions, economic fragility, and environmental. Groups score 0–3; the available-group average is converted to a base percentage and calibrated using the formula published on the methodology page.
No. Australia does not appear on the FATF grey list or black list in the current FATF data [S/1] holds as of 24 August 2026. FATF updates its lists three times per year, so check the current FATF statement before relying on this.
[S/1] records 13 sanctions or debarment designations linked to Australia within its 18-source configured coverage model, using the source data currently available as of 24 August 2026. These include 5 on the US OFAC SDN list, 2 on the EU consolidated list and 2 on the UK FCDO list. Source availability varies and is published separately. A country-level count is a screening signal, not a finding about any specific entity.
Australia scores 76 out of 100 on the Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index for 2025. The CPI runs from 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean) and measures perceived public-sector corruption based on expert assessments and business surveys.
Australia scores 80.5 out of 100 on the World Bank's Worldwide Governance Indicators for 2024, where a higher score is better. The WGI aggregate combines Voice and Accountability, Political Stability, Government Effectiveness, Regulatory Quality, Rule of Law, and Control of Corruption.
[S/1] records a normalised conflict-event intensity of 7.8 out of 100 for Australia, derived from CAMEO-coded violent event data in GDELT. This measures the volume and severity of reported events over a rolling window; it reflects what has been reported in media, not a verified operational assessment.
The Australia scorecard aggregates official open-data sources including the World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators, Transparency International CPI, the European Commission JRC INFORM index, US DOL TVPRA, FATF, the Fragile States Index, RSF, Freedom House, ILO NORMLEX and GDELT, together with an 18-source configured sanctions and debarment coverage model including OFAC, the EU consolidated list, UK FCDO and the UN Security Council. Each indicator carries its own publication year, shown on the page, and current pipeline health is published in the source directory. The scorecard was last generated on 24 August 2026.
From context to decision
Country indicators should route diligence, not decide whether a specific supplier is acceptable. Add sector exposure, resolve the legal entity, reconstruct ownership and control, screen connected parties, and verify the facts that matter to the transaction.
Compare nearby jurisdictions in the same regional evidence context.
[S/1] SCORECARD aggregates publicly available country risk indicators from official sources. It supports geopolitical risk scoring but does not constitute a final risk decision and is not a substitute for entity-level assessment. Verify outputs manually.
