The board and CFO should make ten controlled decisions now: how designation and new rules will be watched; who owns the programme and resources; which entities, facilities and sources are in each boundary; which methods and factors are approved; how data and evidence will be controlled; what verification route applies; how reduction and adaptation plans connect to capital; how carbon credits are treated; which claims are permitted; and how regulators will be engaged. The law does not prescribe this exact governance template, but delaying these decisions makes later filing, verification and public claims materially harder to defend.

Cabinet Resolution No. 67 sets important approval and verification conditions, but it does not itself provide one complete methodology for every project.
