DoWCoP
- Details
CL:AIRE has been performing ongoing audit tasks on randomly selected DoW CoP projects since 2019. The audit results have supported our commitment to maintaining and improving industry standards.
In adherence to our commitment and in alignment with international standards, CL:AIRE has undertaken a comprehensive review of our audit procedures. The revised Ongoing Audit Procedure is now accessible on the CL:AIRE website - DoW CoP Auditing Procedures - Ongoing Audits. It will be used on DoW CoP ongoing audit tasks beginning in 2024 and onwards.
Highlights of the key updates:
- The pool of projects eligible for audit selection now includes those with an outstanding Verification Report from the preceding year.
- Audit requests will be addressed to the Project Team instead of the project Qualified Person.
- If the selected project (with an outstanding Verification Report) is still ongoing, the Project Team will be required to provide a concise progression summary report to accompany the audit documentation.
- In the event the Project Team does not respond to an audit request, the User / Project Team Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures may be initiated.
- The updated version clarifies the steps to follow when discrepancies occur between the original audit findings and the QA/QC review.

The DoW CoP team is receiving an increasing number of notifications from project teams shortly after issue of Declarations, to correct the name of the person/organisation responsible for the submission and production of the project Verification Report.
We would like to remind all QPs to check this information is accurate with the project before submitting the Declaration, along with confirming with the project team the anticipated production date. We recommend that the production date does not exceed 3 months after completion of the project to avoid any risk of loss of information or site knowledge from the project team.
