Audit Trail for CSRD - an overview
The digital audit trail within Ecocharting helps your assurance provider to verify your CSRD preparation process. As part of limited assurance, your accountant will verify the methodology and results of your preparation process. This includes the materiality assessment, its results and how you document policies, actions, metrics and targets on all ESG topics.
A common pitfall of CSRD reporting is beginning work across multiple spreadsheets and separate documents. This approach poses the risk of losing visibility into the contributors involved in your sustainability reporting preparation, including the steps taken in the materiality assessment.
Consequently, this complicates the verification process for your assurance provider and may lead to increased auditing costs. Instead, ensure thorough tracking of all changes using Ecocharting’s fully digital audit trail.
