Certrec's NERC Compliance Client Completes Audit with No Findings
FORT WORTH, Texas, June 30, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Certrec Corporation, a leading provider of NERC regulatory compliance services, recently assisted a generator owner/operator client achieve a successful audit outcome thanks to a combination of advanced planning and an agile response to the unexpected.
The client turned to Certrec's experienced team of professionals to support their PRC-005 Technical Review before a fast-approaching scheduled audit. The initial assessment revealed a condition that required self-reporting. Certrec's project managers quickly assisted the generator owner/operator with preparing a self-report that was submitted before the audit.
Ultimately, the audit results were zero violations and zero findings--and a satisfied client. A spokesperson for the generator owner/operator commented, "I appreciate all the effort by the Certrec team, as we had a lot of work to do. It was a pleasure working with Certrec on this project."
Certrec's flexibility and experience keep generator owners and operators compliant. "Our team received late notice of this client's audit," explained Evans Heacock, Office of NERC Compliance Director, "but the client's use of Certrec's web-based compliance tools and programs put them ahead of the game in regards to preparations. Our team provided full verification of compliance with NERC Reliability Standard PRC-005-6, which includes a review of the current Protection System Maintenance Program, ensuring the client was audit ready."
