Description

Service organizations provide services ranging from performing a specific task under the direction of a company to replacing entire business units or functions of that company. Many companies use service organizations to accomplish tasks that affect the company's financial statements. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the use of service organizations.

Because many of the service organizations' functions affect a company's financial statement, auditors auditing the company's financial statements may need information about those services, the related service organization's controls, and their effects on the company's financial statements.

This Audit Guide is designed to provide guidance to auditors reporting on a service organization's controls. It also provides guidance to auditors of companies that use service organizations. This guide has been revised to reflect:

  • issuance of SAS No. 88, Service Organizations and Reporting on Consistency, which clarifies the applicability of SAS No. 70.
  • paragraph renumbering in SAS No. 94, The Effect of Information Technology on the Auditor's Consideration of Internal Control in a Financial Statement Audit. SAS No. 94 amends SAS No. 55 to provide guidance to auditors about the effect of information technology on internal control, and on the auditor's understanding of internal control and assessment of control risk.
