Audit
The purpose of greenhouse and energy audits is to determine the extent to which corporations that are required to register and report under the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 have complied with its requirements.
- The Register of Greenhouse and Energy Auditors has been established under section 75A of the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (the Act). The Register is available to: Corporations that wish to self-audit, so that they have ready access to registered greenhouse and energy auditors; as well as the Greenhouse and Energy Data Officer who can also utilise the services of registered auditors.
- To ensure the quality and integrity of the data provided by registered corporations, the Act empowers the Greenhouse and Energy Data Officer to initiate audits. The Department established a panel of providers to enable audits to be conducted under the Act.
