End-User Assessment and Planning Seminar for Managing Changes to SAS No.70 Service Organization Reports

After June 15, 2011, SAS No 70, Service Organizations Reports are no longer available. After almost two decades of use, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) is replacing the SAS No 70, Service Organization Reports with Service Organization Controls (SOC) Reports. The overall intent of the new attestation standards and the associated SOC report(s) still remain the same. That is, to produce a report that allows the reader to understand Control Environment and control activities of the service provider. However, there are several areas of change that your organization needs to consider now to avoid any confusion or miscommunication about the SOC report(s) that your service provider(s) will be giving you this fall. 

PKM has developed a complementary 60 minute live private seminar to help you understand these changes and the steps that you can take now to minimize the impact to your organization.  The objectives of this interactive session include understanding:   

• The changes in the professional standards for the Service Auditor issuing SOC reports;
• The differences in format, content, and use of the six types of SOC reports;
• Which SOC report fits your needs; and
• Specific vendor management strategies for working with your key service providers.
