| posted by charles denyerSAS 70 audits seem like they are everywhere these days. From regulatory compliance to corporate governance, SAS 70 Type I and Type II audits are having a profound impact on today's business arena. Developed in 1992 by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, known as the AICPA, the auditing standard is used extensively to examine a service organization's internal controls.
The auditing standard gained much attention after the passing of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, where section 404 of the act unleashed a wave of SAS 70 audit requirements for service organizations. What's more, the use of SAS 70 audits will continue to grow as companies continue to outsource and use service organizations for a host of critical needs.
