Risk management and Grid Procedures management involve activities whose goal is to continuously improve the processes carried out by ONS, in order to make them safer and more efficient while preserving the requirements of transparency and fairness.

With regard to the management of the Grid Procedures, in 2012 the process of review and referral of new versions of 143 submodules was completed, revised in 2011 and 2012, with the participation of agents and associations. Such new versions will be the subject of a public hearing to be held by ANEEL in 2013 for entry into force.

With regard to Risk Management, from the guidelines of ONS Strategic Planning, analyzes were carried out in 2012 aiming at improvements and reduction of vulnerabilities in various finalistic and corporate processes. In this sense, it is worth mentioning the analysis of the following processes and their control mechanisms: Inflow Forecasting, Monthly Calculation of Services and Charges, Management of Transmission Contracts, Calculation of associates' contribution, Recruitment and Selection of Personnel and Supply Management.

It was given continuity to External Audit of the input data of the PMO and its revisions, and this audit also covered data on inflow forecasting as determined by ANEEL. It was also given continuity to External Audit of data compiled by CNOS used by CCEE and the electric energy planning processes, being issued by the auditing firm Assurance Reports on all months of the reporting period, showing the adequacy of procedures performed. The auditing firm also indicated opportunities for improvement that were or are being implemented by ONS, in order to ensure continuous improvement of the processes performed.

Based on the results obtained from the analysis of internal improvement opportunities and existing controls into their processes, ONS has been making regular and systematic monitoring of their exposure, enabling a more effective preventive action.
