Abstract
As of May 1, 2017, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) implemented the Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) 18. This updated standard requires companies to take full control and responsibility of their internal controls and to enhance their risk assessment procedures. Mainly focusing on service organizations and third-party vendors, the changes were intended to enhance Service Organization Control (SOC) reports' quality and usefulness.
To ensure compliance with SSAE 18, companies must understand and address the challenges of internal controls reporting process. A number of considerations must also be taken into account to save money, effort, and time.
In this LIVE Webcast, seasoned CPAs Steve Guarini (Cohen & Company) and Shabbir Hassanalin (Mazars USA LLP) will help companies understand the attestation changes under SSAE 18. As experts, they will provide an in-depth discussion of the recent updates about SSAE 18 and its pros and cons. Speakers will also offer practical tips and best practices in minimizing risks and in complying with SSAE 18.
Key topics include:
• SSAE 18 Audit Standard Updates
• Pros and Cons of SSAE
• Addressing Risk
• Best Compliance Practices
• Outlook
