Public Interest Score Calculator

The Public Interest Score (PIS) is a crucial regulatory measurement used in South Africa to assess a company's public impact and determine its financial reporting requirements. This comprehensive scoring system considers four key factors;

1. 1. The number of employees (1 point each)

   2. The number of shareholders (1 point each)

   3. Third-party liability (1 - 4 points based on debt levels), and 

   4. Annual turnover (1 - 4 points based on revenue). 

The resulting score directly influences a company's compliance obligations;

• Companies scoring below 100 points face basic reporting requirements, 

• Those between 100-350 points must undergo independent reviews, 

• While scores exceeding 350 points necessitate full audits. 

This systematic approach ensures that organisations with greater social and economic influence maintain appropriate levels of financial transparency and accountability, protecting stakeholders' interests while promoting sound corporate governance.
