Statement on Auditing Standards No. 70: Service Organizations
Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) 70, is an internationally recognized auditing standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
A SAS 70 audit is widely recognized because it represents that a service or outsourcing organization has been through an in-depth audit of their control activities, which generally include controls over information technology and related processes.
As one of the highest industry accepted auditing standards for service companies, SAS 70 certification provides customers with guaranteed security and reliability for their systems.
There are two types of service auditor reports. A Type I service auditor's report includes the service auditor's opinion on the fairness of the presentation of the service organization's description of controls that had been placed in operation and the suitability of the design of the controls to achieve the specified control objectives. A Type II service auditor's report includes the information contained in a Type I service auditor's report and also includes the service auditor's opinion on whether the specific controls were operating effectively during the period under review.
