What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams prepare for ESG assurance by structuring ESG reporting standards, assessing ESG data quality, and mapping internal controls so auditors can evaluate readiness and evidence completeness.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Standards-to-Readiness Mapping: Aligns customer reporting requirements to ISSB IFRS S1/S2, ESRS, and GRI expectations for the intended assurance scope and assurance level.
• ESG Data Quality & Traceability Assessment: Evaluates how each material topic’s metrics are collected, calculated, validated, and governed from source to report (including GHG emission methods and factor choices).
• ICSR (Internal Control over Sustainability Reporting) Evaluation: Identifies key control points, assesses control design and operational effectiveness (where applicable), and lists deficiencies with remediation guidance.
• Gap Analysis and Improvement Roadmap: Produces a structured gap analysis and prioritized improvement plan to raise readiness from limited to reasonable assurance or to meet regulatory expansions.
