Auditing & Reporting

Audit and Assurance

Audits provide assurance over the business systems and processes used to comply with state and federal climate change policies. They are critical in maintaining the confidence and integrity of the schemes while supporting businesses to improve the systems used to comply.

Ndevr Environmental is one of only a few specialist consultancies that are accredited auditors federally on the Clean Energy Regulator’s Auditor panel, under the NSW Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) Energy Savings Scheme, and the Victorian Government’s Essential Services Commission VEUP Scheme. We offer audit services for all schemes administered by the Clean Energy Regulator, state-based schemes, and the Climate Active program.

The leading carbon neutral certification program in Australia is the Federal Government’s Climate Active Carbon Neutral Program, which requires entities to calculate, reduce, offset, audit and report on emissions based on international standards tailored to Australia.

Our experience and large and diversified in-house team drawn from various backgrounds (engineering, legal, policy) also ensures that we can efficiently identify material matters and meet tight audit timelines.

Accounting for Nature

The Accounting for Nature framework is a world-leading, scientifically rigorous methodology for measuring environmental conditions that is transparent, affordable, verifiable and certifiable. It is used to measure the biophysical condition of environmental assets such as native vegetation, soils, freshwater, native fauna, marine, to understand whether actions are improving or degrading these vital natural capital assets. Accounting for Nature plays a critical role in guiding investment in sustainable land and sea management as Accounting for Nature® “Self-verified” and “Certified” environmental accounts are widely considered the source of truth and trust for any sustainability claim made with respect to landscape or marine conservation and restoration.

Our Accounting for Nature (AfN) experts assist organisations in reporting under the AfN framework and help proponents develop Environmental Accounts. Our Managing Director Matt Drum is one of only three nationwide AfN Accredited Auditors in Australia and is qualified to verify that an Environmental Account was developed in accordance with the AfN Standard and chosen Methods.
