Audit Analysis
A CDM fuel-switch project at a South African brick factory that received VVB-confirmed additionality via an investment test, but the validation report raised five corrective action requests covering baseline calculation errors, incomplete additionality alternatives, and PDD deficiencies. The project completed its seven-year crediting period (2015–2021) with a claimed 265,610 tCO₂e, yet no independent post-implementation monitoring data was found in the extracted record, and the leakage justification is limited to a 'deemed negligible' statement with no quantitative support.
Red Flags
- Five corrective action requests (CAR-01 through CAR-05) in the validation report flag baseline calculation errors, incomplete additionality alternatives, and PDD non-compliance — indicating the ex-ante estimate was not fully robust at the time of registration
- Leakage deduction of 0% is justified only as 'deemed negligible' with no quantitative assessment or scenario analysis in the extracted record
- Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, meaning at least one key document was poorly readable and the full evidentiary picture may be incomplete
