CPUC Audits

Your Expert Guide Through CPUC Compliance Audits

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) conducts rigorous audits of utility pole inspection and maintenance records to enforce General Order 95 (GO95) compliance, particularly within high fire-threat districts. These audits demand meticulous data integrity and swift corrective action.

Sabre Projects acts as your dedicated partner, providing end-to-end support to navigate the entire CPUC audit lifecycle—from preparation and response to closing out every required corrective action. We ensure your documentation and infrastructure meet the highest safety and regulatory standards, minimizing risk and securing your operational integrity.

 Our Audit & Remediation Service Package

We offer a comprehensive, streamlined service to manage the most complex and scrutinized aspect of utility operations: audit response and compliance closure.

1. Pre-Audit Readiness & Documentation Review

Our proactive approach prepares your team and your records for a successful audit outcome.

• Meticulous Record Auditing: We review your existing pole inspection data, maintenance history, and GO95 documentation against CPUC's 10-year retention and data integrity requirements.

• Gap Analysis: We identify vulnerabilities and documentation gaps before the official audit begins, allowing for proactive corrections.

• Process Alignment: We ensure your internal inspection and record-keeping workflows are fully aligned with current CPUC standards and audit best practices.

2. Audit Support & Guidance

When the CPUC arrives, our experts are by your side to guide the process and manage the flow of information.

• Liaison Services: We serve as the technical liaison between your team and CPUC auditors, ensuring clear communication and accurate presentation of compliance data.

• Response Management: We assist in compiling and formatting necessary documentation, helping you efficiently respond to all audit requests and technical inquiries.

3. Corrective Action Management & Closure

A CPUC audit often results in Corrective Action Items (CAIs). Our expertise is in efficiently resolving them to secure final compliance sign-off.

• CAI Remediation Planning: We develop detailed, prioritized action plans for every documented violation or procedural deficiency identified by the CPUC.

• Field Remediation & Inspection: We deploy specialized teams to execute field repairs, replacements, and maintenance activities required to resolve infrastructure violations.

• Documentation & Closure: We manage the necessary engineering and record-keeping updates, providing the CPUC with auditable, final documentation proving the corrective actions have been fully and successfully implemented.
