The checklist

Review your reporting in six steps

Independent assurance places greater focus on the quality of your data, the strength of the underlying processes and the effectiveness of internal controls.

Preparation makes a difference. A structured internal review helps your team spot gaps early and avoid surprises before an external review. The checklist covers key areas such as:

  • Governance and oversight
  • Data collection and reporting
  • Gap analysis
  • Documentation and audit trail
  • Internal pre-assurance review
  • Assurance provider selection

Who it is for: sustainability, finance and reporting teams preparing disclosures under the CSRD (ESRS), IFRS S1 and S2 or GRI ahead of independent assurance.

Why it matters

Why preparation pays off

Better compliance

Stronger credibility
