The use of HRCA results in a computerised report show a company if, and to what level, it complies with human rights. The results are placed within the political, cultural, social and legal context of the country in which the company operates. Furthermore, HCRA shows the social and political risks and barriers a company could face, and how certain rights could be respected and promoted. It also gives examples of 'best practices' with regard to specific human rights. The final results of the assessment are given in the form of a score, making improvements easier to be measured and analysed.
 The compliance assessment can be obtained in different manners:

• per theme (for example HIV/Aids, child labour, non-discrimination, labour conditions);
• per group of people (for example, women, children, minorities, indigenous people);
• per department of the enterprise (for example human resources, research and development, land management).

Besides the extensive HRCA, a short version is available, the so-called Quick Check.
