Discussion Topic:  Leveraging the QA Function to Ensure Risk-Based Compliance

SCE’s Quality Assurance teams provide a valuable service to the organization’s continued drive to meet all regulatory obligations.  With services ranging from controls design reviews, compliance reviews, and controls testing, QA is best- positioned to provide SCE leadership with the information needed to manage compliance risk.  With SCE’s shift to a risk-based compliance program, QA is even more critical to the company’s compliance efforts.  This discussion will present SCE’s QA program, how its role has shifted over the years, and the vision for QA’s role in the future.
