Independent Audit and Assurance, Trusted Where It Counts
Audit and assurance is where Consultivo is at its strongest. For 17+ years we have delivered independent, evidence-based audits across ESG, safety, environment, social and management systems, powered by expert auditors, the Protosafe scoring protocol and the ESGSlate platform.
Independent Audit and Assurance, End to End
Audit and assurance is the independent, evidence-based verification of whether an organisation meets a defined standard, so its stakeholders can trust the result. Consultivo delivers three types of audit across five domains, as an accredited third-party free of any conflict of interest.
Gap Assessment Audits
An in-depth as-is assessment against global standards or a custom protocol, to find gaps and a path to compliance.
Third-Party Certification and Assurance
Independent assurance and certification-readiness audits against national, international and voluntary standards.
Due Diligence Audits
Risk, compliance and sustainability due diligence for mergers, acquisitions and investment decisions.
The Strength Behind Every Consultivo Audit
Anyone can run a checklist. What sets Consultivo apart is the depth of our auditors and the tools they bring to the field.
Expert Auditors, Not Generalists
A multi-disciplinary pool of qualified lead auditors across OHS, environment, social, human rights, governance and management systems, with deep sector experience. The best ESG data is assured by specialists, and that is what we field.
Scored, Benchmarkable Audits
Protosafe is our proprietary assessment protocol built on a capability-maturity model. It turns an audit into a clear, comparable score, so you see exactly where you stand and how you improve over time, not just a pass or fail.
Evidence, Managed and Visualised
Our AI-enabled ESGSlate platform manages audit evidence, validates data and turns findings into dashboards and management-ready reports, for faster, more traceable and more transparent audits.
Accredited and Conflict-Free
An AA1000 Licensed Assurance Provider, IFC and World Bank Group approved, PSCI and CORE recognised. 1500+ audits across four continents, delivered as a truly independent third party with no commercial bias.
Types of Independent Audits We Offer
Consultivo offers a wide range of independent audit services designed to assess compliance, identify risks and ensure adherence to global standards. Audits can be qualitative or quantitative, and first, second or third-party.
Know Exactly Where You Stand
Gap Assessment Audits provide an in-depth as-is assessment against key requirements such as global standards (GRI, TCFD, IS 14489, ISO 45001) or a custom audit protocol. They help organisations identify gaps and improve compliance.
As-Is Assessment
Evaluation against audit criteria or custom checklists.
Compliance Audits
Statutory and regulatory obligations, aligned to local and international standards.
Due Diligence Audits
Risk, compliance and sustainability review for M&A and investment, including M&A due diligence.
Independent Verification You Can Publish
We provide third-party certification-readiness and independent assurance audits, ensuring compliance with national, international and voluntary standards. Independence from any conflict of interest is the defining feature of a third-party audit.
Accredited and Recognised
Recognised by national and international accreditation and buyer bodies.
Voluntary Standards
Third-party audits for non-certifiable and voluntary codes.
Aligned to ISO 19011

Assurance That Stands Up to Scrutiny
Assurance is the part of audit that gives your stakeholders confidence. As an AA1000 Assurance Standard licensed provider, Consultivo issues independent assurance on BRSR, ESG and sustainability disclosures at the level your reporting needs.
Limited Assurance
A focused review that concludes the reported information is not materially misstated.
Reasonable Assurance
The highest level, an in-depth evaluation of data and systems for a high degree of confidence.
BRSR and ESG Assurance
SEBI now mandates assurance on BRSR Core metrics. Get limited or reasonable assurance from an AA1000 licensed, IFC-approved provider.
