Understanding the NERC Audit Process

When asking “How do I prepare for a NERC audit?”  it is critical to understand the audit process. Like the energy industry, the NERC auditing is dynamic and changing. Regional entities now do more work in advance of an audit and less work on site. Your company will be asked to submit a Reliability Standard Audit Worksheet (RSAW) with supporting documentation of your compliance. If that worksheet contains clear, evidence-based and complete information, the NERC auditor will have less work to do on-site. This means less interruption in your operations schedule, which is better for your bottom-line.

Understanding the worksheet and NERC requirements can be confusing, which is why Versify has worked to make the Versify’s Portal Compliance software comprehensive and easy to use. Versify’s Portal Compliance contains the most up to date library of NERC standards and allows you to create workflows around those standards in a customized fashion.
