Audit Analysis
A Gold Standard water purification project in Uganda with VVB-verified additionality and a quantified 5% leakage deduction, but weakened by a project-specific baseline, absence of a buffer pool for an avoidance credit, and a substantial volume of resolved data-quality findings. The usage rate is assumed at 100% while field verification shows 94.2%, introducing a modest over-claim. CORSIA and CCP eligibility are not stated, leaving dual-channel risk unaddressed.
Red Flags
- No buffer pool or permanence mechanism identified for an avoidance-type credit (water purification), leaving reversal risk unmitigated
- Usage rate assumed at 100% in the PDD while the 2024 verification report records a verified rate of 94.2%, a 5.8% over-claim on a key parameter
- Nineteen material findings and nine corrective actions in the 2024 verification report, including discrepancies in ER values, monitoring parameters, and GHG reduction figures between the monitoring report and the ER sheet
- CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any available document, leaving dual-channel or double-claim risk unassessed
