Enforcement Audits

Audits

FERC audit staff examines the conduct of regulated entities and the role that audits play in encouraging compliance with Commission requirements. These audits provide the Commission with an objective assessment of industry compliance with various aspects of the Commission’s rules, regulations, and statutory requirements. FERC staff plans, conducts, and reports the results of audits of jurisdictional companies in the electric power, natural gas, and oil pipeline industries. Audits vary in type, scope, and objectives, but primarily focus on materially relevant compliance issues associated with significant Commission initiatives.
