In this episode of What’s the Bright Idea with SERC, host Joe Tromba is joined by Michael Bell, Senior O&P Risk Awareness Engineer, and Ted Franks, Principal O&P Risk Awareness Engineer, to discuss internal controls and their role in supporting the reliability and security of the Bulk-Power System.
The conversation explores what internal controls are, why they matter in the electric utility industry, and how strong control programs help registered entities reduce risk, meet compliance obligations, and identify issues before they become larger problems. Listeners will gain insight into internal control assessments, the COSO framework, and best practices for building effective, repeatable, and sustainable controls.
