Control Areas and Objectives

We assess various control areas crucial to GHG inventory management, including roles and responsibilities, quality management plan, generic and source-specific quality tests, final inventory estimates and reports review, formal feedback loops, and report, document, and archive procedures.

Client Assertions

We verify Client’s assertions regarding the GHG Inventory Management Plan services, ensuring that the system was appropriately designed and implemented, controls were suitably designed, and operated effectively throughout the specified period.
