Audit Analysis
A Gold Standard improved-cookstove project in Malawi with VVB-confirmed additionality and a quantified 5% leakage deduction, but undermined by seven cross-document contradictions (crediting period, usage rates, ERR magnitudes, additionality test type, leakage treatment, and monitoring method) that significantly erode confidence in the data. No buffer pool is stated and the baseline is project-specific without a documented reassessment date, leaving permanence and baseline robustness partially unverified.
Red Flags
- Seven contradictions across documents, including a 40× discrepancy between the PDD ERR (38,778, 2020) and the verification report ERR (1,534,828, 2023), and conflicting crediting periods (2016–2025 vs 2021–2036)
- Usage rate assumed appears as both 365 (days) and 0.6696 (fraction) in two PDD versions, and verified usage rate differs between the monitoring report (0.9206) and the verification report (0.7678)
- Baseline last reassessed date not found in any document; project-specific baseline method without documented reassessment cadence
