A SAS 70 certification is the authoritative guidance that allows service organizations to disclose their control activities and processes to their customers and their customers’ auditors in a uniform reporting format.  The SAS 70 audit requires a thorough examination of the design of internal controls and business operations by an independent third party, comprised of Certified Public Accountants.
