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
2008 to 31 March 2009. 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.
Many of the graphs in the report are coded so Suppliers can view their own position
but not anyone else’s. Each graph is coded separately to keep the information completely
confidential.
