Frequently asked questions

How should I use the Bank / NBFC ESG Checklist?+

As a pre-audit self-assessment: tick only what you could show an auditor today (a dated document, a register, a record — not an intention). The percentage tells you whether to book the formal process or spend a quarter closing gaps first; the gap list is the work plan.

Is my checklist progress saved?+

In your browser's localStorage on this device — private by design, nothing uploads. It persists across visits until you clear browser data. For team use, screenshot or transcribe the state into your task tracker; each member can also track their own copy.

What readiness percentage means 'ready'?+

Above ~80%, formal processes typically run smoothly — remaining gaps are knowable work. At 50–80%, schedule the process but sprint the gaps. Below 50%, postpone: failed audits and rejected applications cost more than a quarter of preparation.

Are these checklist items legally exhaustive?+

They cover the items that decide most real-world outcomes, drawn from the cited standards and field practice — but regulations evolve and jurisdictions differ. Treat the list as your preparation backbone and verify current requirements with the cited source or a professional for the formal step.
