In short
ESGTrack's Filing check tests a BRSR for completeness, arithmetic, consistency, comparatives, BRSR Core and XBRL, and holds sign-off until ready.
Mistakes in a BRSR are usually small and easy to fix — a total that does not add up, a male and female count that differs from the total, a comparative left blank, a Scope 1 figure that disagrees with the GHG inventory. They are also easy to miss across more than two hundred questions.
ESGTrack's Filing check looks for them before the report goes anywhere. It runs every rule over the BRSR in a fraction of a second and lists each issue with its severity, where it is, why it matters and a link straight to the question.
What it checks
| Area | What is checked |
|---|---|
| Completeness | every mandatory question in Sections A and B, the managing director's statement and the essential indicators; leadership indicators noted as voluntary |
| Arithmetic | every total in every table, for the current and the previous year; male plus female against the total; percentages and their ranges; shares of turnover |
| Consistency | Scope 1 and Scope 2 against the GHG inventory; energy, water and waste against BRSR Core; the financial year stated |
| Previous year | comparatives present; changes of more than 30% explained |
| BRSR Core | whether assessment or assurance applies (the top 1,000 in FY 2026-27); every indicator calculated, or marked not applicable with a reason |
| Identity | CIN format, e-mail and web addresses |
| XBRL | the same validation the XBRL file gets, without having to create one |
Ready to file means ready
Each issue is one of three kinds: blocks filing (must be fixed), needs an explanation (the explanation is kept with the figures it was given for, and goes stale if they change), or a note. The BRSR is marked ready to file only when nothing blocks and every warning is explained — and sign-off is refused until then.
The list can be filtered and downloaded as CSV for the team, and earlier checks are kept in a history.
Where it fits
The Filing check sits at the end of ESGTrack's BRSR workflow, after data collection and review, and before the XBRL file is prepared. Our guide Filing BRSR in XBRL explains what the exchanges require.
