IISAE 3410 outlines the framework for independent assurance providers to assess the accuracy and completeness of a company's Greenhouse Gas (GHG) statements, enhancing the credibility and trust in the reported emissions data. The standard offers two levels of assurance: reasonable assurance, which provides a high level of confidence that the GHG statement is free from material misstatement, and limited assurance, offering a more moderate level of assurance, often suitable for companies new to sustainability reporting. ISAE 3410 focuses on key areas impacting GHG emissions, such as energy consumption and waste management.
While ISAE 3410 doesn't specify particular protocols like the GHG Protocol or ISO standards, it allows flexibility for companies to choose the most suitable method for calculating emissions, as long as it is comprehensive and transparent. The assurance provider's role is to assess the appropriateness and consistent application of the chosen methodology throughout the reporting process.
An analogy can be drawn to ISAE 3410 being like an auditing standard for financial statements: it defines how auditors work but doesn't dictate the specific accounting principles used. In India, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has issued SAE 3410, a standard based on ISAE 3410, which is widely practiced by Chartered Accountants affiliated with ICAI.
