Corporate Risk Solutions

“Corporate Risk gave our subject matter experts an excellent introduction to what they will experience in a real audit, which we anticipate will smooth the audit process significantly. They are extremely knowledgeable, and highly professional.” (Mock Audit)

“It has been our experience that having a knowledgeable consultant available during an audit is of considerable value in responding to the many, sometimes unexpected, questions and concerns raised by an audit team. Scott was a tremendous asset to us during our recent CIP audit. Because I couldn’t be in the room with my SME’s the whole time, it was great to have someone knowledgeable on the standards and the audit process to be there with them. Scott also helped formulate some rough drafts of responses for the auditors which significantly decreased the amount of time it took for me to complete these. I would strongly recommend this service offered by CRSI to any utility undergoing a NERC Audit.” (NERC Audit Assistance)

“CRSI performed an onsite gap analysis of PPL’s CIP compliance program in advance of the required compliance date of 12/31/09. Consultants Mike Tibbs and Phil Sobol provided outstanding consulting service in a highly professional manner. They worked extremely well with the various PPL Subject Matter Experts and Counsel staff, patiently answering many questions and educating the staff on various CIP issues. Their knowledge and understanding of the CIP standards and related industry implementation issues enabled them to guide PPL in improving our CIP implementation strategies and our evidence of compliance to the many CIP requirements.

CRSI provided a detailed report of the gap analysis, providing PPL the opportunity to review the draft report and provide comments, prior to finalizing the report. CRSI also separately provided written responses to numerous written observations documented by Counsel and internal auditing during the course of the gap analysis. This was an unexpected benefit and was very helpful in addressing these internal comments. PPL is highly satisfied with the results of this CIP gap analysis and with the conduct and professionalism of the CRSI staff.”
