Mandatory Environmental Audit
Independent audit support for organizations required to demonstrate environmental compliance under Indonesian environmental law and government instructions.
About This Service
Mandatory Environmental Audit is an evaluation of environmental compliance for business activities that are legally required to undergo an audit. In Indonesia, this requirement may apply to certain high-risk activities or to companies that show non-compliance with environmental laws and obligations.
The audit reviews how environmental approvals, permits, monitoring commitments, pollution control, waste management, emergency preparedness, and reporting obligations are implemented in practice. The objective is to provide an objective basis for corrective action and regulatory follow-up.
TSI supports organizations with structured audit planning, document review, field verification, interviews, findings consolidation, and practical recommendations so management can respond with a clear corrective action plan.
Regulatory Basis
Mandatory environmental audits are governed by Indonesian environmental audit provisions, including Minister of Environment Regulation No. 03 of 2013 on Environmental Audit, which recognizes required audits for high-risk activities and/or non-compliant businesses. The wider compliance framework is supported by Government Regulation No. 22 of 2021 on Environmental Protection and Management.
