OCA Audit Reports

Issued: November 2006

SUMMARY

The objectives for this audit were to assess risks and vulnerabilities associated with AE’s Environmental Care & Protection (ECP) activities. Our intention was to develop an objective, scope and methodology to guide fieldwork in activities which we assessed as both high inherent risk and high vulnerability.

We found that, while there are high environmental risks inherent in the generation and delivery of electricity, for the activities reviewed Austin Energy has controls in place to provide reasonable assurance that these risks are being managed. As a result, we assessed vulnerability as either medium or low for the systems under review. It is for this reason that we are recommending not doing further work in this area at this time.
