Audit Analysis

Efficient Cookstoves in Bahia III is a Gold Standard cookstove project with a combined additionality test, verified usage rate of 98%, and no material findings or corrective actions. However, the absence of a buffer pool for a project with inherent permanence risk, the lack of a named VVB, and three cross-document contradictions (ERR figures, FNRB method, crediting period) limit confidence in the overall robustness of the credit claims.

Red Flags

  • The VVB name is not stated in the extracted record, making it impossible to confirm the independence and identity of the verification body.
  • Three contradictions exist between the PDD (2017) and the monitoring report (2020): lifetime ERR (76,425 vs 6,083), FNRB method (national_default vs local_field), and crediting period start date (2018 vs 2019).
  • CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are both unstated, leaving dual-channel or double-claiming risk unassessed.

Risk Indicators

Additionality

Combined test present but VVB verification unconfirmed

Permanence

inherent cookstove reversal risk unmitigated

Leakage

0% deduction with quantified justification; needs scrutiny

Baseline

Project-specific baseline; FNRB method contradictory across documents

Safeguards

Grievance mechanism and benefit sharing present; FPIC not stated

Double-claim

CORSIA and CCP status both unstated; dual-channel risk unassessed
