The era of "best guess" emissions reporting is over.

For decades, energy companies reported GHG emissions in voluntary sustainability reports. If the numbers were slightly off, nobody got sued.

That changed with the SEC's Final Rule on Climate-Related Disclosures. Now, Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions for large accelerated filers must be included in the 10-K annual report.

The Risk: Data that was once "good enough" for marketing is now subject to Sarbanes-Oxley controls. If your engineering estimate is wrong, it’s not just an error—it’s potential securities fraud.

In this episode:

  1. The Simulation (00:00): A tense showdown between a CFO (Sarah) who needs "audit-ready" numbers and an Operations VP (Mike) who is drowning in messy field data.
  2. The Deep Dive (06:00): Our AI analysis engine reads the 886-page SEC Final Rule to explain "Limited Assurance" vs. "Reasonable Assurance" and what the "Safe Harbor" actually protects.

Key Intelligence Points:

  • Financial Grade Data: Why your Excel spreadsheets are no longer legally defensible.
  • Attestation: The timeline for bringing in third-party auditors (like Big 4 accounting firms) to verify your methane leaks.
  • The 1% Threshold: The new requirement to disclose climate costs if they impact 1% of a financial line item.

Resources:

  • SEC Final Rule (Release No. 33-11275)
