ENHANCED PRODUCTION AUDIT PROGRAM

EPAP (AER & SK ECON) requires all producers to:

• Use a risk-based approach to understand the risks of non-compliance associated with specific areas of measurement and reporting, and the risks associated with specific producing facilities.
• Document and audit the checks and balances in place to address the rules and regulations associated with production measurement and reporting.
• The program must be designed and reported as per the 14 EPAP Themes.
• Each year, use the results of the audit work performed, to submit a Declaration to the AER & SK ECON on the state of controls.
• Improve the state of controls over time (fix weak controls).
• Monitor, investigate and resolve a set of indicators of potential noncompliance, and respond to AER & SK ECON inquiries related to the indicators.
