About
A Tainan-based practice built around ESG assurance fieldwork
Network SolutionsAI grew from financial audit backgrounds into dedicated ESG reporting assurance—testing the numbers and claims that sit beside the annual report, not rewriting the sustainability brochure.
Why we exist
Boards and lenders increasingly ask for an independent view on greenhouse-gas totals, workforce indicators, and governance disclosures. Many companies can produce a report; fewer can produce an evidence trail that withstands sampling, recalculation, and site inquiry.
We formed the practice in Yungkang to serve southern Taiwan manufacturers and service groups that need that trail examined by people who understand both financial control language and sustainability metric definitions.
How we work
Engagements begin with a scoping memo that names the framework, metrics in scope, sites to visit, and the form of conclusion. Fieldwork follows source data—utility bills, HR extracts, contractor manifests—then reconciles those sources to the figures published in the ESG report.
We stay independent of report-writing retainers. If a client needs drafting help, we refer them elsewhere so our assurance opinion is not compromised.
People you may meet on an engagement
Small teams, named partners on the engagement letter, and specialists brought in for GHG or labor metrics when the scope requires it.
Wei-Hao Lin
Director — GHG and environmental metrics
Focuses on inventory boundaries, emission factors, and plant-level meter evidence across industrial sites.
Anika Rao
Manager — social disclosures & materiality
Reviews workforce, safety, and supply-chain indicators, and challenges materiality narratives against records.
Values that shape our fieldwork
- Evidence before narrative. Claims in the glossy pages wait until the ledger, meter, or roster supports them.
- Clear scope, clear conclusion. We refuse vague “ESG health checks” that cannot become an assurance opinion.
- Respect for reporting calendars. We flag blockers early so finance can reschedule filings rather than discover gaps at sign-off.
- Taiwan context. Exchange guidance, bilingual working papers, and travel to plants outside Taipei are part of normal delivery.
