Since 2014, ABC has offered a [compliance audit](https://www.bilancarbone-methode.com/methode-bilan-carbone-r-en/appendices/bibliography#labc-et-les-ressources-complementaires-au-bilan-carbone-r) to the Bilan Carbone® method for carbon accounting tools developed by actors of the transition. Increasingly more tools wish to benefit from this audit, both as recognition of their quality and as a source of improvements and innovations for their software solution.
