MiQ Certification is carried out by independent, accredited auditors who have proven expertise in methane emissions management, accounting, and monitoring in the oil and gas sector. Auditors are required to have stringent processes in place to retain integrity, transparency, and trust.
Operators we work with must engage one of MiQ’s accredited third party auditors to carry out an annual detailed, field-based and rigorous assessment of natural gas production at the facility level against the MiQ Standard, which they pay for.
The MiQ Standard is quantitative and assessed at the facility level to ensure granularity and accuracy.
Independent auditors are a key tenet of the MiQ Governance structure. Its principles are based upon best practices and regulation in the financial sector and are essential to ensure full independence of the MiQ Standard.
All MiQ’s auditors have been recognised by MiQ according to this protocol.
The protocol is under review and will be updated by end 2025.
