COVER SLIDE Introduce the presentation. Go through the practical details for the webinar such as duration of presentation, time for questions and mechanism for posing questions.
Learning Objective: Understand the links among the three aspects of a GHG inventory Key Learning Points: Handbook: Contains the procedures IMS: Contains data Inventory: Contains several types of data (public, for stakeholders, pour management, for employees, etc.) Instructor Notes:
Learning Objective : Learn about recommended aspects of data quality procedures Key Points to Register : The standard provides some recommendations for quality management procedures in the Annex (these are not mandatory requirements, but represent good practice guidance) The GHG IMS is mentioned in both a monitoring and data management context – use your judgment in terms of where to document it … the important thing is that it is documented somewhere. Instructor Notes : These are just some procedures to consider, others are provided on the following slide Prepared by: Greenhouse Gas Verification Services Version 1: February 2006 Module 2: Slide
Learning Objective : Learn about one way of structuring a data quality management plan Key Points to Register : The case study approach shown here is just one possibility – the plan should be tailored to individual project / intended user requirements Instructor Notes : Talk briefly about the intro/definitions and plan objective statement here. Other elements listed on this slide will be discussed in the slides that follow. Prepared by: Greenhouse Gas Verification Services Version 1: February 2006 Module 2: Slide
Learning Objective : Consider the importance of data security Key Points to Register : Data should be protected from intentional or unintentional loss or corruption. Key reasons: Fire, hardware failure, etc. could completely destroy project data; if no back-up is in place, project reporting might be impossible Not having security controls to prevent intentional data manipulation or unintentional corruption raises the audit risk for a verification, and could jeopardize GHG assertions. Consider IT, physical and back-up/archiving security procedures Instructor Notes : Provide some examples to illustrate the potential consequences of not having security procedures in place Prepared by: Greenhouse Gas Verification Services Version 1: February 2006 Module 2: Slide
