Public Review of the
2005 Annual Reports
• The deadline for submissions to the Board is
June 9, 2006. Submissions to be sent to the
attention of Board Secretary.

Audit Review of selected 2005 CDM Reports
• The “Audit” Review is not envisioned as a
strict audit process. It’s a focused review of
a sample of the reports.
• Board Staff, under the direction of the Chief
Regulatory Auditor, will conduct a review of a
selected sample of the CDM reports.
– The scope of the “audit” review will be:
• The accuracy of the Total Resource Cost calculation.
• Spending the money according to the proposed timing.
• Programs implementation as committed.
