**This guide presents the evaluation method** [**of assessment** ](/guide-devaluation-des-bilans-en/resources/glossaire.md#evaluation-des-bilans)**of a Bilan Carbone® as well as a Regulatory GHG Assessment.** It details the principles, methodology, and process of the assessment approach for the reports. The guide is structured in a tree format and is accompanied by an [assessment tool](/guide-devaluation-des-bilans-en/resources/bibliographie.md#outil-devaluation-des-bilans) to which only the[assessment team](/guide-devaluation-des-bilans-en/process/lequipe-devaluation.md) will have access.

In addition to the assessment of the reports, this guide also presents a control guide for the requirements of the CSRD's ESRS E1 standard, providing no official Reporting, but making it possible to check whether its requirements are met before the annual audit.

The guide is designed to allow the assessment team to assess and/or check, in parallel, compliance of a report with the requirements of one or more (among these three) methods and regulations.
