CSRD Advisory & Assurance — Scaling Client Impact with E-V-E

Helping a Global Audit Firm Deliver Faster, Smarter ESG Services

A leading global audit and advisory firm needed to support a growing number of clients in complying with the EU's CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive). But the complexity of ESRS interpretation, fragmented documentation, and tight deadlines made it difficult to scale advisory and assurance services efficiently.

Key Friction Points:

• Interpreting ESRS requirements across diverse client sectors
• Mapping policies and KPIs to CSRD controls
• Aligning Annual Reports with ESG disclosures
• Preparing audit-ready documentation at scale

E-V-E for CSRD Engagement Workflow

The firm embedded E-V-E into its CSRD engagement workflow — giving consultants and audit teams an AI-powered validation engine to deliver faster, more consistent client outcomes.

By using E-V-E, they:

• Automated mapping of disclosures and policies to ESRS datapoints
• Flagged documentation gaps across ESG, finance, and risk domains
• Validated disclosure alignment with Annual Reports
• Delivered structured gap assessments and pre-audit simulations
• Generated audit-ready documentation with linked evidence trails

Scaling ESG Advisory Excellence

The integration of E-V-E transformed the firm's CSRD service delivery:

• 70–80% Time Savings: Reduced manual mapping and walkthroughs from weeks to hours, dramatically improving engagement efficiency
• More Consistent Deliverables: Standardized reports across global teams ensured quality and consistency for all clients
• Stronger Margins on Fixed-Fee Projects: Faster turnaround and higher efficiency improved profitability on CSRD engagements
• Audit Confidence: Defensible, source-linked documentation for limited and reasonable assurance gave clients peace of mind
