Verification Non-Compliance and Credit Issuance Failure
Definition
Projects must meet strict eligibility criteria: be new, go beyond business-as-usual, not be required by law, not receive specified government support, and follow approved methods[8]. VVBs conduct desk reviews, site visits, technical reviews, and scheme approvals before credit issuance[2]. Each rejection loop adds 4-8 weeks of rework. No credits = no revenue until resubmission is approved.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: Estimated AUD $10,000–$50,000 per project delay (lost revenue from 4–8 week verification cycle; typical ACCU projects worth AUD $50k–$500k annually). Recurring: 15–30% of submissions face initial findings requiring rework[2].
- Frequency: Per project submission cycle; typical 4–8 week turnaround for validation/verification[2].
- Root Cause: Manual compilation of evidence; incomplete baseline/additionality documentation; poor alignment with approved methodology. VVB site visits and technical reviews are sequential, creating bottlenecks[2].
