The gap analysis shows the difference between the data your company currently has and the information it needs to provide regarding the CSRD.

This page allows you to identify missing or incomplete data to help you target the actions needed to ensure full compliance and optimize reporting quality.

1. How does it work?

The different graphs in the Gap Analysis update automatically and synchronize with the Data Collection tab.

  1. Filter 1: Materiality

    Only select "Material" as this are the points you want to focus on.

  2. Filter 2: Mandatory level

    This filter is linked to the same filter in the Data collection. You need to choose at least “Must report data” and “Data or Justification”. If you used the "Optional" filter in your data collection, you should also select it here to allow proper comparison.

2. How to determine if the reporting is compliant?

This table outlines the criteria for compliance, the filters to apply, the key performance indicators (KPIs) to monitor, and the values to reach for the data to be validated.

Criterion

Filter combination to apply

KPI to use

KPI value to achieve

No question that has the “Must Report Dataproperty should be left empty or filled with the “Not Available” alternative

Materiality: Material Mandatory Level: Must Report Data

KPI 1: Number of Material Questions

KPI 2: Number of validated questions

KPI 3: Number of questions not available

Number of Material Questions = Number of Validated Questions AND Questions not available = 0

No question that has the “Must report data or justification” should be left empty

Materiality: Material Mandatory Level: Must Report Data or Justification

KPI 1: Number of Material questions KPI 2: Number of validated questions

Number of Material questions = Number of validated questions (Number of material questions that are NOT validated = 0)

🚨 Until the conditions described in the “KPI value to achieve” column are not respected, your reporting is not compliant!


Not being compliant means taking the risk of being rejected by the auditor and therefore having a report that cannot be published as is.

👉 In that case, you should go back to the Data Collection tab and make the appropriate modifications.

3. What about the quality of reporting?

  • Compliance: is what needs to be provided to be within the framework of my obligations

  • Quality: requires that the data provided is exact and precise.

To handle the quality of reporting, you will need to:

  • Provide strong justification

  • Provide documents, evidence

  • Make sure that there are as few questions as possible for which data is unavailable.

If you have questions, please reach out to the Support Team or your Onboarding Manager.
