Our Verification Process
1. Engagement Planning
- Scope Definition: We work with you to define the scope of verification, including boundaries, reporting periods, and applicable standards or protocols (e.g., ISO 14064-1, GHG Protocol).
- Criteria Selection: Identify the benchmarks, methodologies, and standards against which the data will be assessed.
- Materiality Assessment: Determine acceptable levels of error to focus efforts on material discrepancies that could affect the credibility of reported data.
Deliverable: A detailed engagement letter outlining objectives, scope, and responsibilities.
2. Risk Assessment
- Data and Process Analysis: Evaluate potential risks to the completeness, accuracy, and transparency of the data.
- Prioritization: Focus verification activities on areas with significant risk or material impact.
Goal: Ensure efficient use of resources while addressing critical elements of the data set.
3. Evidence Collection and Verification
- Data Review: Assess primary and secondary data sources, calculation methodologies, and emissions factors.
- Sampling and Testing: Select representative samples for verification to ensure completeness and accuracy.
- On-Site Visits (if applicable): Observe processes, verify source data, and interview relevant personnel to ensure real-world alignment with reported information.
Techniques Include
- Cross-referencing data against benchmarks or historical records.
- Validating emissions calculations and measurement systems.
4. Findings and Gap Resolution
- Discrepancy Identification: Highlight inconsistencies or gaps in data and processes.
- Client Collaboration: Work with your team to address findings and correct identified errors.
Deliverable: A detailed findings report with recommendations to enhance data accuracy and compliance.
5. Assurance Statement
- Final Review: Assess all corrected data and ensure compliance with reporting criteria.
- Client Collaboration: Work with your team to address findings and correct identified errors.
Deliverable: A detailed findings report with recommendations to enhance data accuracy and compliance.
Agreed-Upon Procedures (AUPs)
For clients needing tailored verification, we offer AUP services. This involves performing specific, client-defined procedures on GHG or environmental information without providing assurance.
Process
- Collaborate to define the scope and objectives of the procedures.
- Execute tasks (e.g., verifying emissions factors, validating project-level reductions) as agreed.
- Provide a factual report detailing observations based on the procedures performed.
Value: AUPs offer flexibility for targeted assessments while maintaining credibility and professionalism.
