Carbon Ledger & Audit Trail
Carbon Ledger & Audit Trail is a CCAS™ submodule that provides a reliable recording and tracking infrastructure for your company’s carbon data. It records all carbon calculations and updates generated within Carbonance Carbon Accounting Solutions (CCAS™) with timestamps, making it clear which data was entered, when, and by whom. This allows you to present the data trail behind the figures you provide to banks, investors, or independent auditors in a transparent and audit-ready manner.
Carbon records are consolidated in one place
Data related to corporate inventory, product footprint, and CBAM outputs is stored in a shared record pool within this module.
Every action is recorded with a timestamp
Each data entry, correction, and approval step is logged with date, time, and user details, and previous versions can be restored.
Documents are linked to records
Evidence such as invoices, measurement reports, and methodology notes is matched to the relevant records so the number and the supporting document sit side by side.
Audit Specific Views are created
Summary dashboards and report drafts are prepared for the requested period, facility, or topic, to support internal audit, independent verification, or bank review.
All carbon related calculations, corrections, and approvals are kept in the same record system, making it clear which figure is the latest and which one is correct.
With timestamps, user details, and linked documents, you can provide a ready audit trail whenever an internal or external audit is requested.
Helps you demonstrate that the carbon data shared with banks and investors is backed by a strong recordkeeping and audit infrastructure.
You can clearly see who updated which data and when, strengthening internal controls and governance processes.
What is the difference between this module and other CCAS modules?
Other CCAS modules focus on carbon calculations and reporting. Carbon Ledger & Audit Trail stores the records, changes, and approvals behind those calculations. In other words, it serves as a single, audit ready record system for carbon data.
What data does it store and at what level of detail?
It stores results related to the corporate inventory, product footprint, and CBAM outputs, together with the underlying source data, coefficients used, and corrections made. When needed, you can drill down from the report to the record level and answer the question “Which data produced this figure?”
How does it help us during the audit and verification process?
Every action is logged with date, time, and user details and linked to relevant documents. This lets an auditor trace the source of a figure, who approved it, and which document supports it, step by step within the system.
How are data security and access permissions managed?
Access to carbon records is restricted by roles and permission levels. Each user only sees the sections and actions they are authorized for, protecting internal controls and preventing unnecessary sharing of sensitive data.
