Description

Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) reports are required to be reviewed as part of Attestation Engagements, however, organizations can gleam great value from these reports if the appropriate level of review is performed and the proper questions are asked. 

During this course we discuss the evolution of the report from SSAE No. 16 to No. 18, critical components of the report, recommendations for reviewing processes and analysis to be performed over testing and test conclusions.  Additionally, we explore the report’s role in today’s cloud computing environment. Lastly, we discuss valuable uses for the SSAE report, beyond checking the audit requirement box.
