Audit Analysis

A Gold Standard improved-cookstove project in Malawi with a verified investment-test additionality assessment, a 5% quantified leakage deduction, and no reported reversal events. However, seven cross-document contradictions—including a significant discrepancy in the crediting period and inconsistent usage-rate figures—undermine confidence in the data chain. The corrective actions are largely administrative, but the absence of a lifetime ex-ante ERR figure and a project-specific (non-jurisdictional) baseline limit the robustness of the credit claim.

Red Flags

  • Crediting period stated as 2016-2025 in the monitoring report but 2021-2036 in the validation report — a 15-year discrepancy that cannot be reconciled from available documents
  • Seven cross-document contradictions identified, including conflicting usage-rate values (0.7678 vs 0.9206) and inconsistent leakage justifications (quantified vs deemed negligible)
  • No lifetime ex-ante ERR figure found in any document, preventing a pro-rata over/under-delivery check against the 1,534,828 tCO₂e verified for the 2024 monitoring period
