Audit Analysis

A Gold Standard improved cookstove project in rural India with VVB-confirmed additionality, a quantified 5% leakage deduction, and no reported reversal events. However, the absence of a stated buffer pool, a project-specific baseline with no documented reassessment, and an unknown crediting period end date create meaningful gaps in permanence and claim safety. Multiple apparent contradictions in the extracted data are largely unit-conversion or scope differences rather than true discrepancies, but they reduce confidence in the data record.

Red Flags

  • Crediting period end date is not stated in the extracted record, making pro-rata ERR comparison and permanence assessment incomplete
  • Baseline is project-specific with no documented reassessment date, and the baseline method is not jurisdictional or standardised
  • Usage rate was assumed at 100% ex-ante (confirmed in validation CL#2) while verified at 96%, indicating a modest over-claim in the ex-ante estimate
