Carbon Planet audit mentioned, this will be a major earner for them!
Major Points:

1- 15% of Australian companies understand what the emissions trading scheme involves. ( No Kidding ! )

2- 25% per cent of respondents say they have no plans to measure their carbon footprint until it becomes law in 2011.

3- From the end of the October, corporations, such as property trusts, will have to start reporting their energy and greenhouse performance to the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Scheme. The penalty rates are up to $220,000, and a further $11,000 a day for non-compliance.

4- The disclosure rules will then progressively cascade down to medium-sized business.

As well, anyone selling or leasing out commercial space of more than 2,000 net square metres will have to disclose their energy consumption under the National Australian Built Environment Ratings System (NABERS) by mid to late next year.
