Audit Close-out Letter
In accordance with section 103 of the Canadian Energy Regulator Act, the Canada Energy Regulator (CER) conducted a compliance audit of the auditee. The focus of the audit was on Integrity Management management. The objective(s) of the audit were to:
- Verify that the company had established and implemented an Integrity Management Program (IMP) in accordance with the OPR. The audit assessed the adequacy, implementation, and effectiveness of:
- selected management system processes and requirements as applied to the IMP
- selected company activities and operational practices related to the IMP
The CER issued its Final Audit Report to the Auditee on 6 March 2019, and the Auditee filed a Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) Plan with the CER on 5 April 2019. The intent of the CAPA Plan was to address the non-compliance(s) identified in the Final Audit Report.
The CER has monitored the implementation of this CAPA Plan via implementation assessment meeting(s) and document reviews. The Auditee has demonstrated that it has completed the implementation of this CAPA Plan.
The CER now considers this audit to be closed. Note the Auditee is accountable for maintaining compliance throughout the life cycle of its regulated facilities. The CER will verify ongoing compliance through future compliance verification activities.
