NOTICE TYPE:  M-A032511-01 Financial
SHORT DESCRIPTION:  The ERCOT 2011 SAS70 Type 1 Report is now available
INTENDED AUDIENCE:  Financial personnel from ERCOT member companies and Market Participants
DAY AFFECTED:  March 25, 2011
LONG DESCRIPTION:  The ERCOT 2011 SAS 70 Type 1 Report was prepared by BrightLine CPAs & Associates, Inc. (formerly SAS 70 Solutions, Inc.) and is now available. The scope of the audit was based on areas of controls that were significantly revised and areas of new controls that were added to ERCOT's internal controls due to the implementation of the nodal market.
The result of the audit was that, in the auditor's opinion, the accompanying description of the Nodal Settlement Operations presents fairly, in all material respects, the relevant aspects of ERCOT's controls that had been placed in operation as of January 21, 2011. Also, the controls, as described, are suitably designed to provide reasonable assurance that the specified control objectives would be achieved if the described controls were complied with satisfactorily and user organizations applied the controls contemplated in the design of ERCOT's controls.
Market Participants may obtain a copy of the audit report by contacting their ERCOT Account Manager or by calling ERCOT's Client Services department at (512) 248-3900.
CONTACT:  If you have any questions, please contact your ERCOT Account Manager. You may also call the general ERCOT Client Services phone number at (512) 248-3900 or contact ERCOT Client Services via email at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
