PKM's SAS 70 Practice

As of

June 15, 2011

SAS 70 Reporting Standards will be replaced by Service Organization Control (SOC) Reports.

Long before the requirements of Sarbanes Oxley increased the demand for SAS 70 services, PKM was assisting data processors who serviced financial institutions and insurance companies. We provide a full breadth of SAS 70 services that includes Pre-Assessment consulting services, Type I and Type II audits for.

Experience

The genesis of PKM’s SAS 70 practice is a result of the financial services market we cultivated over the last 20 years. While PKM remains a thought leader in that industry, our SAS 70 client base has expanded greatly since our first bank core processing audit was performed in 1997. The PKM Systems Assurance Services team has specific experience in the following areas:

• Bank Core Processing
• Insurance Processing
• Internet Banking and Bill Pay
• Managed Technology Services
• Statement Rendering and Bill Presentment
• Item Processing and Settlement
• Electronic Data Interchange Processing
• Application Development Organizations
• Medical Bill Servicers
• Fixed Income Securities Processing

Additionally, our practice is a truly national one with clients in over 25 states.

Staffing

Many times, the success or failure of a project depends on communication, planning and proper staffing. To us, proper staffing means getting the right people with the right experience involved at the right time. We place a premium on manager and partner involvement. We commit to providing an efficient, effective, well-planned audit to ensure minimum disruption. We are always happy to provide a list of satisfied clients.

Conclusion

Many CPA firms have only recently started offering SAS 70 services; by contrast our management team has more than 50 years of cumulative relevant experience. PKM’s 12 plus years of experience certainly puts us in a position to be your top choice as a service auditor, whether this is your first SAS 70 audit or you have gone through this process many times. Our clients will tell you we offer superior service in every way.
