BSC Audit Reports
Annual BSC Audit Report
The BSC Audit Report is produced by the BSC Auditor. It highlights the key market
issues that have high levels of error or risk associated with them and which had
the greatest impact on the BSC Audit Opinion for the period.
The Statement of Significant Matters (SSM) sits behind the BSC Audit Report. It
includes issues that affect many Parties and those detected at a single Party but
which have an associated high level of risk or error. Often the issues in the SSM
are the root cause contributors to those in the BSC Audit Report.
PricewaterhouseCoopers, as the BSC Auditor, has completed the Report for the audit
of the calculations and allocations performed in relation to Settlement from 1 April
2009 to 31 March 2010. Please review the notice below before viewing the BSC Auditor’s
Report, available from the table below.

Materiality Report
The BSC Auditor produces a Materiality Report to explain how it determines the materiality of the key issues in the Annual Report. It also covers the distribution of these errors across Settlement. This year a number of the key issues previously reported have improved to the extent that they are no longer in the Statement of significant matters. Therefore no Materiality Report has been produced for 2009/10.
