Professional conducting gap analysis review of sustainability documentation

Accreditation & Compliance · Gap Assessments

Know where you stand before verification day.

Structured gap analysis between your current GHG management practices and the requirements of the applicable standard — so you know exactly what needs to change, and in what order.

Pre-Verification Gap Analysis

Surprises in a verification engagement are expensive. A gap assessment eliminates them.

Many organisations that commission GHG verification for the first time encounter significant findings — data quality issues, calculation errors, documentation gaps, and process weaknesses — that could have been identified and remediated in advance. A structured gap assessment is the most cost-effective way to understand where you stand before the verification clock starts.

EDAT's gap assessments are structured around the specific requirements of the applicable standard — ISO 14064-3, your target registry's verification requirements, or the applicable regulatory framework. We assess your current GHG inventory, data systems, documentation, and internal controls against each requirement, and produce a prioritised remediation roadmap.

What You Get

Why this matters

Pre-Verification Clarity

Understand exactly which requirements your current GHG programme meets, partially meets, and does not yet meet — before verification begins.

Prioritised Remediation

Findings ranked by severity and verification impact — so you know where to focus remediation effort for maximum verification readiness.

Cost Reduction

Corrective action requests during a live verification engagement are expensive. Remediating gaps before verification reduces both cost and timeline.

Faster Verification

Organisations that have completed a gap assessment before their first verification engagement typically complete it significantly faster.

Our Approach

How the engagement works

01

Criteria Definition

Establish the assessment criteria — the specific requirements of ISO 14064-3, your target registry, or applicable regulation.

02

Current State Assessment

Review of your GHG inventory, calculation methodology, data systems, documentation, and internal controls against each criterion.

03

Gap Report & Roadmap

Prioritised gap findings with severity ratings, root cause analysis, and a sequenced remediation roadmap with timeline estimates.
