In plain English
You need to explain what the company has done or is doing to fix problems that led to fines, penalties, or regulatory actions, and any corruption or conflict‑of‑interest cases. This information usually comes from the company’s internal compliance or legal department, which tracks investigations, penalties, and corrective measures. The report should simply state the actions taken or planned to address those issues.
What a complete, assurance-ready answer contains
A complete, assurance‑ready answer lists each fine, penalty, regulatory action or corruption case disclosed in the report, specifies the exact corrective action taken or being implemented, and provides the timeline and responsible parties for each action. It includes quantitative details such as the amount of the fine, the number of cases closed, and the percentage of employees trained on ethics, as well as qualitative evidence like policy revisions, internal audit findings, and third‑party verification. A common gap is omitting the linkage between the corrective action and the original disclosure, leaving the assurer unable to confirm that the action directly addresses the reported issue.
Describes the completeness and granularity an assurer expects. No company figures are named.

Much of what BRSR asks for already exists in filings the company makes elsewhere, such as Pollution Control Board consents, PAT returns, hazardous-waste manifests and EPR registrations. The free gap analysis cross-references those filings against all 108 fields and shows which are already covered.
