Audit Analysis
A Gold Standard community borehole project in Eritrea with verified additionality and a recently reassessed baseline, but undermined by seven open corrective actions, the absence of a buffer pool, a missing verified ERR figure, and multiple cross-document contradictions. CORSIA eligibility introduces dual-channel risk, and the project-specific baseline combined with a 0% leakage deduction (justified as negligible) leaves moderate over-crediting exposure.
Red Flags
- Seven open corrective actions from the 2024 verification report, including requirements to demonstrate duplication checks on user lists, provide grievance evidence, and conduct a site visit at next verification
- Total verified ERR is not found in the extracted record, making it impossible to confirm whether the 79,172 claimed credits are supported by monitoring data
- CORSIA eligibility confirmed while CCP status is not stated, creating potential dual-channel crediting risk
- Verification report (July 2024) records reversal events as 'not addressed' while the later monitoring report (Dec 2024) states 'none reported' — the VVB did not explicitly assess reversal risk
