ANSI and Gold Standard are working to develop new accreditation scheme that will extend list of auditors eligible to review Gold Standard energy projects while improving audit quality through better oversight. Historically, only designated operational entities (DOE) registered under United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) were eligible to act as auditors. New scheme also opens the doors to ANSI Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Validation and Verification Bodies (VVBs).
