Audit Analysis

A VCS cookstove distribution project in Madhya Pradesh, India, with a confirmed investment-test additionality and a quantified 5% leakage deduction, but significant gaps in verified monitoring data, a project-specific baseline, and no buffer pool. Two contradictions between the PDD and validation report (fNRB value and crediting period dates) introduce data-reliability concerns, and eight material findings in the validation report were not accompanied by corrective actions.

Red Flags

  • No verified ERR or monitoring report found in the extracted record — the project's actual performance cannot be assessed against its 3.15 MtCO2e lifetime claim
  • Eight material findings in the validation report (including missing fNRB equations and unclear stove ownership) with no corrective actions recorded
  • fNRB value discrepancy between PDD (0.88) and validation report (91.19%) — likely a unit difference (fraction vs. percentage) but unexplained in the documents
