Abstract

The increased outsourcing of applications and data processing by firms raises an important issue: How should you validate the actions of the third‐party vendors? The Sarbanes‐Oxley Act and other compliance issues require some form of judgment of those actions. This article explains the authoritative guidance for reporting on such service organizations. The author looks at assessing the validity of the service provider's internal control, privacy compliance, and other aspects from both the user's and deliverer's point of view.
