Attend this popular audio conference and get practical guidance about the purpose and format of the SAS 70 report, its role in reducing audit risk, and understanding user control considerations.
Adherence to The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 70 is a clear indication of a service organization’s commitment to internal controls and a means to differentiation itself from its competitors. The SAS No. 70 provides detailed information so user organizations can obtain an understanding of the controls implemented by their service organization and offers an independent opinion on the operating effectiveness of the control structure.
Show regulators that your institution takes auditing risks seriously by attending this interactive audio conference. Our industry expert Julie Perkins of RSM McGladrey will discuss the following topics:
- Purpose of the Service Auditor’s Report (what it is and what it isn’t)
- Common terms and definitions
- Reasons service organizations issue a SAS 70
- How to determine if you need to obtain a SAS 70 from a service organization/service provider
- Overview of the SAS 70 report format
- Key areas of consideration when evaluating/reviewing a SAS 70 report
- How does a SAS 70 reduce audit risk?
- Other types of service organization attestation engagements
- And much more!
