For auditors
Expert Knowledge and Assurance Support.
ESG assurance demands a comprehensive understanding of reporting frameworks and expertise in applying the audit toolbox in ESG content. We serve as your go-to partner for technical inquiries regarding reporting standards such as CSRD and ESRS, the EU taxonomy, GHG reporting, and more. Additionally, we provide support for assurance-related queries, including assessing reporting criteria and evaluating the sufficiency and appropriateness of evidence.
Furthermore, we offer assistance to assurance projects, serving as quality reviewers or providing hands-on support for specific areas. For instance, we can help in evaluating the auditor’s assessment of double materiality processes conducted by the client.
For auditors
Tools and Templates.
Whether you require tools and templates to streamline your assurance work or to advise and assist your audit clients with ESG reporting, we offer tailored solutions to help you work efficiently and ensure compliance.
Our toolkit includes packages designed for limited assurance following ISAE 3000 and 3410 (the greenhouse gas emission standard), ISRE 4410 for agreed-upon procedures related to ESG metrics, and the upcoming ISSA 5000 for sustainability reports under CSRD.
Additionally, we provide a range of tools and templates to support your clients with reporting projects, including toolsets for CSRD compliance and double materiality assessments, reporting manuals, sustainability reports, and more.
