Audit Analysis

A VCS-registered cookstove project in Tanganyika, DRC, with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test and a quantified 5% leakage deduction. Key weaknesses include a project-specific baseline, an assumed 100% usage rate with no verified usage data, and the absence of a verified ERR figure to confirm actual delivery. No contradictions were found across documents, and all corrective actions from verification were closed.

Red Flags

  • Usage rate assumed at 100% with no verified usage data available to confirm actual adoption
  • No verified ERR figure found in the extracted record, preventing confirmation of actual credit delivery
  • Project-specific baseline rather than a jurisdictional or standardised baseline, limiting robustness
  • Four Corrective Action Requests were raised during verification (all subsequently closed), indicating initial documentation gaps

Credit Vintages

No issuances recorded on the registry.
