The situation

What has happened

GreenLoop's regulated energy and emissions report for the financial year is due at the end of September and is in second review under internal project CP-26-046. The Windsor fleet fuel card data has a gap for May because a card was replaced, the method for estimating composting emissions changed this reporting year and the electricity invoices for Newcastle include a period when the site was on a different retailer. Amara Okonkwo needs the gaps closed with documented estimates, the totals recalculated using the current factors, a reconciliation to the invoices, the review checklist completed and an approval note for Fiona Ashcroft. Any error found after lodgement must be reported to the regulator, so the review has to be thorough.

Your brief. Close the data gaps with documented and defensible estimation methods, recalculate scope one and scope two emissions and energy using the current factors and methods, reconcile the data set to the invoices, complete the second reviewer checklist and prepare the report and the approval note for the General Manager.

What to look for

Evidence guide

Look for estimation methods that are documented, reasonable and transparent about uncertainty, current factors with sources recorded, a reconciliation that accounts for the retailer change, movements explained rather than accepted, and a reviewer checklist completed honestly with corrections recorded. The approval note must give the General Manager what is needed to sign with confidence.

The student's evidence summary lists every record they created or changed in the systems named above, their notes and the tasks they ticked. Verify it against the deliverables and your own assessment tool.
