Description
We performed four agreed-upon procedures solely to assist management in determining the validity of the Winning Performance payout awards for the year ended September 30, 2008. In summary, we found:The fiscal year 2008 Winning Performance goals were properly approved. However, during our review, we noted the definition sheets describing the formulas for the three TVA incentivized measures were not approved by the Board. We also found that although the PSO - Transmission System Services (TSS)'s performance measures were solely comprised of metrics from other scorecards that were approved on November 6, 2007, the approval of these metrics for measuring TSS's performance for purposes of the payout did not occur until September 8, 2008.Actual year-to-date inputs for the sampled metrics agreed with the respective supporting documentation.Actual inputs for the three incentivized TVA-wide metrics agreed with the underlying support provided by the Strategic Business Units with one exception related to the equivalent availability factor metric. This one exception did not affect the payout.The payout percentages were mathematically accurate after noted exceptions were corrected. Summary Only
