What is an environmental auditor verification

An environmental auditor verification is an environmental auditor confirming that something has occurred as required by, or that something complies with, a specified reference or condition (e.g. a standard, plan, document, guideline, etc.).

The main role of a verification is to provide an independent, expert view of the sufficiency and appropriateness of actions and measures undertaken to comply with the requirements of an EPA notice, order, or permission.

A verification may include the environmental auditor considering factors such as validity, accuracy, appropriateness or practicability based on application of their professional judgement.

The complexity of a verification varies. Examples include:

  • Verify something has been completed in accordance with a specified standard, reference or document
  • Verify an action or measure has occurred or has been undertaken
  • Verify that a document or plan is appropriate.
