Compliance audits will normally be on a three-year cycle but can be event-driven, a special audit, or as requested by the Board. The Primary Compliance Contact shall be the responsible party to disseminate audit materials and coordinate agendas and schedules.

All Registered Entities are subject to audit for compliance with all Reliability Standards applicable to the functions for which the entity is registered. Compliance audits for the BA, TOP, and RC are conducted at the site or office of the Registered Entity. Compliance audits for all other functional Registered Entities will be determined by NERC and the MRO staff.
