Sustainability assurance

As part of getting ready for assurance we can provide education, conduct gap analysis and perform ‘assurance readiness’ procedures or early assurance ahead of mandatory reporting and assurance – whether mandatory, voluntary, reasonable or limited assurance.

Our process will assist in identifying any gaps in your systems, processes, controls and documentation that may impact the ability for limited or reasonable assurance to be provided. Undertaking an assurance readiness engagement or early assurance may allow sufficient time to implement any required changes and minimise any risks associated with transitioning to assurance.

The mandatory assurance requirements start with limited assurance and increase to reasonable assurance over time. When the legislation and assurance framework are finalised, our experts will be ready to provide assurance over your mandatory reporting and assurance requirements.

If you are not captured by mandatory assurance requirements, your suppliers, financiers, or stakeholders may request assurance over climate (GHG emissions), ESG or other sustainability metrics. We can provide limited or reasonable assurance using existing assurance standards.
