NGER Audit

In 2007 Australia introduced a single, national framework for corporations to report on greenhouse gas emissions, energy use and energy production. National greenhouse and energy audits determine if registered corporations are complying with the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (NGER Act).The focus of the audits revolve around:

• the registered corporation’s structure, operational control, and facilities
• the identification and measurement of emissions sources, energy consumption, and production point
• the accuracy, completeness and validity of reported greenhouse and energy data, including recordkeeping requirements, or
• more generally, the effectiveness of internal controls associated with data collection and reporting processes that support the collection or calculation of reported emissions and energy data.

NGER reports are applicable to registered corporations. To understand if your corporation meets the NGER threshold and must register and then report each year.
