Offering · CSRD Audit Readiness

Always know what's ready for assurance — and where the risks are.

I bring ESG reporting teams out of a scattered reporting reality into a clear audit view: what holds up, where evidence, controls or ownership are missing — and what to tackle first, before reporting or assurance. As a neutral third party — not your auditor — I surface gaps early and close them with you, before they show up in the audit and change how it's run.

The problem

Scattered — and incomplete where it counts

Two things get in the way of a reliable status. First, the information is scattered: report drafts, Excel, SharePoint, emails, control docs, audit trackers, PowerPoint. Second — and more critical — the substance is missing where it matters: a definition isn't final, the methodology is unclear, a control was never set up in the first place.

Both stay invisible until management, departments or auditors all expect clarity at once.

The outcome

Every requirement gets its trail

Instead of scattered statuses, a prioritised, steerable view: every requirement linked to evidence, control and owner — early visibility where it's stuck, solid enough for management updates and auditors.

Aligned with the assurance standards. Limited assurance is performed today under ISAE 3000 (Revised), supported by the CEAOB guidelines (Sept. 2024). The EU has not yet adopted its own CSRD assurance standard — a delegated act is expected, building on the new ISSA 5000 (effective for reporting periods on or after 15 Dec 2026). I align your readiness with exactly these requirements.
