Audit Analysis

A Gold Standard cookstove efficiency project in Nepal with VVB-confirmed additionality and a quantified 5% leakage deduction, but limited by a project-specific baseline, an unverified 100% usage rate assumption, and the absence of any monitoring-period data. The validation process was thorough (multiple clarification and corrective action requests raised and closed), yet the low extraction confidence and lack of a monitoring report leave key performance claims unverified.

Red Flags

  • Usage rate assumed at 100% with no verified usage data available; the annual survey method is stated but no results have been reported
  • Baseline is project-specific rather than jurisdictional, and no baseline reassessment date is recorded in the available documents
  • Low extraction confidence across the document set, meaning at least one key document was poorly readable and some facts may be incomplete
