All verification/assurance projects will: ♦ Prior to commencement have review carried out through the standard URS Conflict of Interest procedure to ensure an appropriate level of impartiality ♦ Define a scope of the verification/assurance (including limitations and qualifications) with the client at the start of the project ♦ Document all data reviews and site visit interviews through a project specific protocol ♦ Provide a supporting document to the client as backup to the verification/assurance statement; this may take the form of a Verification/Assurance Report, potentially made available by the client to the public.
