Audit Analysis
A Gold Standard improved cookstove project in Rwanda with VVB-confirmed additionality and no reported reversals, but undermined by 11 outstanding corrective actions, eight cross-document contradictions (including conflicting FNRB values and crediting periods), and a project-specific baseline with no recorded reassessment date. The data quality issues in monitoring records—cookstove ID inconsistencies, missing data, and double-counting risks—raise meaningful concerns about the reliability of the verified emission reductions.
Red Flags
- Eleven corrective actions remain open, including cookstove ID suffix inconsistencies, missing data in KPT records, and a need to prevent double counting in the ER sheet
- Eight contradictions across documents, including FNRB value (0.89 vs 0.77), FNRB method (local_field vs national_default), and two different crediting periods (2017–2024 vs 2021–2030)
- Technical specifications field contains Word document file metadata rather than project data, indicating a significant extraction or filing error
