SSAE 16 Readiness Reviews

SSAE 16 Readiness Reviews are consulting engagements that are designed to assist service organizations in assessing their preparedness for a SSAE 16 audit. SSAE 16 Professionals works collaboratively with management teams to perform a detailed readiness review and provide a gap matrix that identifies controls that would pass right away, controls that would partially fail, and controls that would fail and require remediation (in priority order with recommendations for remediation). Some firms go right into the SSAE 16 and realize there are issues which result in a qualified opinion. By that time, the service organization has spent a lot of time and money only to get a qualified report (which is useless to both the service organizations and its clients).

SSAE 16 Type I and Type II Reports

In addition to Readiness Reviews, SSAE 16 Professionals completes both Type I and Type II SSAE 16 Reports.

• ????SSAE 16 Type I Reports ? A report on policies and procedures placed in operation as of a specified point in time. SSAE 16 Type I Reports evaluate the design effectiveness of a service provider?s controls and then confirms that these controls have been placed in operation as of a specific date.
• ???? SSAE 16 Type II Reports ? A report on policies and procedures placed in operation and tests of operating effectiveness for a period of time. SSAE 16 Type II Reports include the examination and confirmation steps involved in a Type I examination plus include an evaluation of the effectiveness of the controls for a period of at least six calendar months. Most user organizations require their service provider to undergo the Type II level examination for the greater level of assurance it provides.
• ????SSAE 16 Reports are beneficial because:
• ???? Financial Audit Requirement by SEC ? Auditors of your Clients will increase their scrutiny of the ?system of internal control? during their audits of the financial statements (Sarbanes-Oxley) ? which will result in more requests for your SSAE 16 report.
• ???? Marketing and Competitive Advantage ? SSAE 16 can be a key differentiator to prospective clients.
• ???? One Time Audit ? Avoids user auditors (auditors of your clients) continuously contacting service organization personnel for separate audits throughout the year. Rather, service organization clients request and rely on the SSAE 16 report.
