Audit Analysis

A small hydro project under CDM methodology ACM0002 with a jurisdictional baseline and a 7-year crediting period (2019–2026). The validation report identifies a material finding that two key parameters (CAPPJ and APJ) were not included in the monitoring plan, and several core fields (additionality test type, buffer pool, monitoring period) are absent from the extracted record. Inherent risks are moderate given the physical-infrastructure nature of the project, but documentation depth and MRV completeness are limited.

Red Flags

  • Material finding in the validation report: parameters CAPPJ and APJ are not monitored in the Monitoring Plan, with a corrective action required to update the plan.
  • Additionality test type and VVB confirmation of additionality are not stated in the extracted record, leaving the additionality assessment opaque.
  • No monitoring reports or verification reports are present in the evidence set; only the validation report and PDD are available, so no post-issuance performance data can be assessed.
