The Clean Power Plan aims to curb carbon dioxide emissions from power plants by paving the way for cleaner energy sources. It establishes state-by-state emission reduction targets to be achieved by 2030 through three building blocks: improving efficiency in coal plants, increasing natural gas use over coal, and bringing more renewable sources online. The smart grid can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by improving reliability, facilitating renewable integration, enabling distributed energy resources, reducing losses, and promoting conservation through consumer feedback. A webinar on how the smart grid can help reach Clean Power Plan goals at no cost will be held on September 30.

What is a Free Trade Zone?
A free trade zone (FTZ)is a designated area that eliminates traditional trade barriers, such as tariffs, some kind of taxes and fees and minimizes bureaucratic

Tax-free trade zones generate foreign exchange through exports, and create economic value added.
Free, foreign, and export processing zones all fall under the umbrella of being free trade zones. Because these terms are confusingly similar, they are often used

What Constitutes a GRC Program?
Governance, risk and compliance or GRC programs are complex – an organization has to use its GRC program to address the regulatory requirements expected of, among
others, the following:
Enterprise Risk Management
COSO Internal Controls
Environmental Compliance (EPA rules)
Anti Trust
Anti Money Laundering
Anti Bribery/Corruption
Quality Management and Standards such as ISO 9000, 9001
Process Management such as Six Sigma
Anti Harassment
Human Capital
Whistle-blowing
HR Processes
The areas listed above are just few of those that come under the purview of a robust GRC program.
Why Audit a GRC Program?
Given the complex nature of regulations around the world today and the increasing risks of doing business, it is important that the GRC program in an organization is
audited frequently. Most of the lapses in corporate governance occur due to outdated GRC programs that have not been audited and updated to reflect the current
regulatory environment.
Internal audits of GRC programs allow management and the board to identify risks and areas that need strengthening and root out any non-compliance.
An audit can help evaluate the adequacy of the program’s design and effectiveness as well as new practices and technologies to be implemented.
Audits of the GRC program have to be carried out periodically – these should supplement an ongoing, daily evaluation of the effectiveness of the program, including
monitoring of controls and responses.
Internal Audit Process – The General Steps:
Define evaluation scope, objectives, and the type of evaluation.
Define the level and type of assurance
Identify the evaluation team and skills required.
Develop evaluation plan.
Perform design adequacy evaluation.
Perform operational effectiveness evaluation.
Communicate evaluation results and ensure follow-up to address issues.
