Audit Analysis
A Gold Standard improved-cooking-stove project in Bangladesh with VVB-confirmed additionality, quantified 5% leakage deduction, and recent baseline reassessment, but notable gaps in permanence safeguards (no buffer pool stated), a significant under-delivery relative to the ex-ante lifetime estimate (~28% of pro-rata expectation), and several outstanding corrective actions around stakeholder consultation and project-area overlap.
Red Flags
- Verified ERRs (148,388) represent only ~28% of the pro-rata ex-ante expectation (533,143) for the 1.5-year monitoring period, suggesting the lifetime estimate of 1,777,142 may be overly optimistic
- Stakeholder consultation documentation is incomplete and project-area overlap with other crediting projects has not yet been validated (outstanding corrective actions)
- Contradiction in claimed ERR: verification report states 171,040 while the validation report states 355,428, a 2× discrepancy that undermines data reliability
