The National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA) is mandated to enforce all environmental laws, regulations, and standards in Nigeria. For companies, a NESREA audit can be daunting, but preparation reduces risk.
Key steps include:
1. Documentation – Ensure all permits, monitoring records, and compliance reports are complete and accessible.
2. Internal Audits – Conduct periodic reviews of environmental performance to identify gaps before NESREA inspectors arrive.
3. Training – Staff should be trained to understand their roles during audits.
4. Engagement – Cooperate openly with auditors, provide requested information promptly, and correct issues quickly.
Preparedness demonstrates responsibility. Companies that are proactive during NESREA audits avoid penalties, gain credibility, and often establish stronger long-term relationships with regulators.
