Accreditation & Compliance · Compliance Audits
An independent audit finds what internal review misses.
Third-party compliance audits against GHG regulations, reporting mandates, and permit conditions — structured to find gaps before regulators, investors, or buyers do.
Internal compliance reviews have a structural blind spot.
Internal compliance teams know the business, but they also know its history, its politics, and its constraints. That familiarity is valuable for day-to-day management — but it is a structural limitation when it comes to the independent assessment of whether the organisation's GHG data and reporting practices actually meet the requirements of applicable regulations and standards.
EDAT's compliance audits are conducted by external personnel with no prior relationship to the engagement — assessing your GHG monitoring, calculation, reporting, and disclosure processes against the specific requirements of the applicable regulation or permit condition, and reporting findings without institutional filter.
Standards & Frameworks Applied
Why this matters
Independent Perspective
External auditors with no prior relationship to your organisation — the independence that effective compliance audit requires.
Specific to Your Regulation
Audit criteria drawn directly from the applicable regulation, permit condition, or standard — not generic best-practice benchmarking.
Pre-Enforcement Identification
Find and remediate compliance gaps before they surface in a regulatory inspection, enforcement action, or public disclosure challenge.
Structured Findings Report
Prioritised findings with root cause analysis, regulatory reference, and specific corrective action recommendations.
How the engagement works
Audit Scope Definition
Define the applicable regulation, audit criteria, organisational boundary, facilities, data systems, and reporting periods to be covered.
Evidence Review & Testing
Document review, data system testing, personnel interviews, and site visits — testing compliance evidence against audit criteria.
Findings & Corrective Actions
Structured findings report with compliance status per criterion, root cause analysis, and prioritised corrective action recommendations.
