Verification Services
As a Qualified Audit practice we issue audit opinions as a member of our regulatory professional body, Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CAANZ) – making us accountable to international auditing standards and regular quality reviews from our professional body.
Greenhouse Gas Inventory Verification
Opportune is trusted by some of New Zealand’s largest organisations as well as small-to-medium sized business to verify their Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory Reporting.
Our expert verification meets international standard ISO14064 Greenhouse Gases Specification and the global GHG Protocol.
Climate-Related Disclosures
We provide verification services for Climate Reporting Entities (CRE’s) reporting against the new climate-related disclosures.
The new law requires around 200 large financial institutions covered by the FMC Act to start making climate-related disclosures. Affected organisations are required to publish disclosures from financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2023, in accordance with climate standards published by the External Reporting Board (XRB).
Airport Carbon Accreditation
Our Managing Director, Andrew Douglas, is an approved verifier for the Airport Carbon Accreditation programme.
Airport Carbon Accreditation is the only global, airport-specific carbon standard which relies on internationally recognised methodologies. It provides airports with a common framework for active carbon management with measurable goalposts.
We verify the carbon footprint and carbon management process of airports as part of their application to become an accredited airport under the programme.
