Audit Readiness

Arrive audit-prepared, not audit-surprised.

Dcycle runs a pre-audit health check on your data and hands you back a report a non-technical reader can act on: a health score, one tab per check block, and a plain-language note on every finding. What is missing gets justified once and travels into the report. What is there stays traceable to the file it came from.

Before, not during

the data issues surface in the pre-audit instead of in the verifier's findings.

Prepared, not hopeful

Everything a verification asks of your data

A pre-audit health check you can act on

The check runs on your real data and comes back as a Dcycle report designed to be read, not decoded: a health score at the top, one tab per check block, and a plain-language note on every finding telling you what to do about it. No raw tables in a language half your team does not speak, which is what made the old version hard to share internally.

The gaps get explained once

When a data point genuinely does not exist, mark it as unavailable during the pre-audit and say why. That justification now flows automatically into the editable report, in its own table at the end of the document, for the facilities and organisations the project covers. Click update and the report picks up the latest version, so nobody copies context between exports or forgets why a figure is missing.

Built for whoever reviews it

Every figure traces back to the source file it came from, you can export every emission factor used for a date range, and your verifier gets a guided path through the data in reader mode: traceability, emission factors, Scope 2 location and market based, Scope 3, base year, reports and sampling. Dcycle's OCR also reads certification and policy PDFs and files the extracted data where the evidence is expected.

Additional features

See how Dcycle compares to the alternatives

Your choice Manual process Legacy tools

Health score up front

The state of your data as one number, then the detail behind it, so you know where you stand before you commit to a date with a verifier.

One tab per check block

Findings grouped the way the checks run, not as one long list, so two people can work different blocks at the same time.

Every past run saved

Previous health checks stay listed and open in the platform, which turns the pre-audit into a history rather than a one-off PDF.

Year on year comparison

Total emissions for the audited period next to the same calendar window a year earlier, by company, facility and category.

Justifications in the report

The explanation for a missing data point travels from the pre-audit into the editable report instead of living only in a quick export.

Reader mode for verifiers

A dedicated path for the auditor to find and validate each data point in place, with full size screenshots in the guides.

“Dcycle helped us consolidate 6 facilities across 2 countries into a single source of truth. Our auditors couldn't believe the level of traceability.”
Lina Pena Corp. Services Director, KLN Iberia
“I see your help as super necessary, I can't imagine maintaining the contract without your advisory component. We went from scattered spreadsheets to a unified system in weeks.”

Frequently asked questions

What does audit readiness mean in Dcycle?

Three things: a pre-audit health check that finds the data problems before an external verifier does, a justification trail for what genuinely cannot be reported, and a reviewable path through your data for the person doing the verification. It is about the audit as an event with a date, not about the data model.

How is this different from evidence and traceability?

Evidence and traceability is the permanent record: who uploaded each data point, when it changed, and how it flows into a report. Audit readiness is what you do in the weeks before a verification: run the health check, close or justify the gaps, and prepare what the auditor will walk through. You need the record for the second to be worth anything, and most teams use both.

What does the pre-audit report include?

A health score at the top, one tab per check block, and a plain-language note on each finding explaining what to do. Past runs are saved and open inside the platform without a download, and the report includes a year on year comparison that totals emissions in tCO2e for the audited period against the same calendar window a year earlier, broken down by company, facility and emission category.

What if a data point genuinely does not exist?

Mark it as unavailable during the pre-audit and explain why. Only justifications tied to the facilities and organisations included in the project are pulled in, and they appear automatically in a dedicated table at the end of your editable report. Pressing update refreshes them, so the context stays current instead of drifting between exports.

Does Dcycle verify or certify my footprint?

No, and that distinction matters. The verification is done by an accredited third party and the submission is made by your company. What Dcycle does is prepare and defend the data: recognised methodologies, versioned emission factors, every figure traceable to its source, and the pre-audit that finds the problems while there is still time to fix them.

What does the verifier actually see?

A guided path through your data in reader mode, covering traceability, emission factors, Scope 2 on both the location based and market based approach, Scope 3, base year, reports and sampling. EINF reports also ship an automatic appendix, the compliance table for Law 11/2018 with traceability to the GRI standards, so alignment between the report and the criteria is visible rather than asserted.

Do I even need external verification?

It depends on the framework and the country. Under Spain's Royal Decree 214/2025, for example, verification by an accredited third party is required if you apply for public funding tied to carbon reporting, if you are a large company, if Scope 3 is more than 40 percent of your footprint or you use it in public commitments, or if your sector requires it. ISO 14064 and CSRD have their own assurance requirements. The safe planning assumption is that it is coming.

Can I see how this period compares with last year before the auditor does?

Yes, and it is the fastest way to catch a data quality gap. The year on year chart in the pre-audit report puts the audited period next to the same window a year earlier, split by company, facility and category, so an unexplained jump or a category that suddenly reads zero shows up as a shape rather than as a finding.
