ERCOT’s SSAE16 audit covers the controls surrounding the settlement operations. The F&A Committee Charter specifies that “[b]ased on its review and discussions with management and the independent auditor, the Committee shall provide a recommendation to the Board whether the Company’s SSAE16 audit report should be accepted.” The draft SSAE16 audit report for the twelve months ending September 30, 2012 (that is, the 2012 Service Organization Control Audit Report), is available for the F&A Committee’s consideration for recommendation to the Board.

3 Request for Recommendation to the Board With regard to the draft 2012 Service Organization Control Audit Report: – There were no control testing exceptions. – It is expected to be issued with an unqualified opinion. ERCOT staff respectfully requests that the F&A Committee recommend that the Board of Directors accept the 2012 Service Organization Control Audit Report. Please refer to Board Tab 11.2 for the Board decision template. Due to the confidentiality of the 2012 Service Organization Control Audit Report, the draft report is available solely for the Board’s electronic viewing under Board Tab Tab 5 ERCOT Public
