Appendix E: Audits
Audits evaluate how a company manages its activities. We expect every company we regulate to have management systems and protection programs that are effective and work well. Companies that manage their activities well can better anticipate, prevent, and mitigate issues that can affect safety, security, and the environment.
After an audit is done, a report is made public. We expect all companies to consider and review the findings in these reports and use them to improve their management systems.

All operational audit reports and related documents can be found on the CER’s website under Reports on Compliance and Enforcement.
The CER considers financial regulatory audits to be an important regulatory tool to ensure compliance with the Canadian Energy Regulator Act, regulations, orders, and decisions, as well as documenting companies’ current operations, management systems, procedures and internal controls.
Objectives of financial regulatory audits are:
- To determine whether the company has complied with the CER Act, regulations, decisions, toll orders and other accounting and reporting directives.
- To verify that the financial information contained in various company applications or submissions to the CER agrees with the company’s records.
- To examine whether cross-subsidies have occurred.
- To obtain information on the company’s current operations, management systems, procedures and internal controls.
In 2020-21, no financial regulatory audits were completed and one financial regulatory audit commenced, which is presently underway. This audit examines the calculation of the absolute liability limits (A.L.L.) of several pipeline companies regarding their Financial Resource Requirements to confirm it has been calculated correctly in accordance with the Pipeline Financial Requirements Guidelines. The A.L.L. financial regulatory audit is expected to be completed during the 2021-22 fiscal year.
All financial regulatory audit reports and related documents can be found on the CER’s website under Financial Regulatory Audit Reports.
Appendix F: Inspection Officer Orders in Effect
