Frequently Asked Questions

BRSR Assurance

BRSR Assurance is an independent verification of a company’s Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR). The assurance process validates the accuracy, completeness, and reliability of ESG disclosures made as per SEBI’s BRSR framework.

SEBI has mandated BRSR reporting for the top 1,000 listed companies by market capitalization. While assurance is not yet mandatory, many organisations undergo independent assurance to enhance credibility, meet investor expectations, and prepare for evolving regulatory requirements.

  • Strengthens trust with investors and stakeholders
  • Enhances transparency and ESG maturity
  • Verifies accuracy of reported sustainability data
  • Supports risk management and compliance readiness
  • Improves the organisation’s sustainability performance over time

The assurance process typically covers:
  • Review of policies, KPIs, and disclosures
  • Verification of ESG data and evidence
  • Interviews and data sampling
  • Evaluation against assurance standards (e.g., ISAE 3000)
  • Issuance of an independent assurance statement

IRQS conducts BRSR Assurance in line with globally recognized assurance standards such as:
  • ISAE 3000 (Revised) – Assurance over non-financial information
  • AA1000AS v3 – ESG performance evaluation This ensures credibility, consistency, and global acceptance.

The timeline depends on the size of the organisation, number of locations, complexity of ESG data, and readiness of documentation. Typically, the assurance process takes 4–8 weeks.

You may need to provide:
  • BRSR report (draft or final)
  • ESG-related policies, procedures, and KPIs
  • ESG-related policies, procedures, and KPIs
  • Data sheets, performance metrics, and supporting records
  • Evidence of stakeholder engagement

No. As an accredited and independent assessment body, IRQS does not provide consultancy or implementation services. Our role is limited to assurance, evaluation, and independent verification.

Yes. Many unlisted organisations voluntarily opt for BRSR Assurance to enhance investor confidence, prepare for future regulatory expectations, and strengthen their ESG performance.

You will receive a formal Independent Assurance Statement, including:
  • Scope and methodology used
  • Level of assurance (limited or reasonable)
  • Verified disclosures and observations
  • Materiality assessment review
  • Improvement opportunities
This statement can be published along with your BRSR report.

You can request a quote by submitting your company details, scope, and report size on the IRQS website. Our team will evaluate the scope and share a customised proposal.
