Accreditation & Compliance · Gap Assessments
Know where you stand before verification day
An independent structured assessment of where your GHG management practices stand against the requirements of the applicable standard, documented before verification or regulatory review begins.
Surprises in a verification engagement are expensive, and a gap assessment eliminates them
Many organisations that commission GHG verification for the first time encounter significant findings, including data quality issues, calculation errors, documentation gaps, and process weaknesses, that could have been identified and remediated in advance. A structured gap assessment is the most cost-effective way to understand where you stand before the verification clock starts.
EDAT's gap assessments are structured around the specific requirements of the applicable standard, whether ISO 14064-3, your target registry's verification requirements, or the applicable regulatory framework. We independently assess your GHG inventory, data systems, documentation, and internal controls against each requirement and produce a formal gap findings report.
Standards & Frameworks Applied
Why this engagement matters.
Pre-Verification Clarity
Understand exactly which requirements your current GHG programme meets, partially meets, and does not yet meet, before verification begins.
Severity-Rated Findings
Nonconformities and observations ranked by severity and verification impact, providing a clear, evidence-based picture of your current compliance posture.
Cost Reduction
Corrective action requests during a live verification engagement are expensive. Remediating gaps before verification reduces both cost and timeline.
Faster Verification
Organisations that have completed a gap assessment before their first verification engagement typically complete it significantly faster.
How the engagement works.
Criteria Definition
Establish the assessment criteria: the specific requirements of ISO 14064-3, your target registry, or applicable regulation.
Current State Assessment
Review of your GHG inventory, calculation methodology, data systems, documentation, and internal controls against each criterion.
Gap Report & Roadmap
Prioritised gap findings with severity ratings, root cause analysis, and a sequenced remediation roadmap with timeline estimates.
