Audit standards (SAS 70)

Organisations providing outsourced services to clients that need Sarbanes-Oxley certification may also need to consider Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) 70 standards.

These provide your client’s auditors with assurance about your internal controls.

It also makes your customers feel confident about the internal controls you operate on their behalf. There are two types of service auditor’s reports - Type I and Type II. However, a Type I report will not provide enough assurance for Sarbanes-Oxley purposes.

The benefits
