Content: : For over 40 years, Statement on Auditing Standards No. 70 (SAS 70) and its predecessors have been the U.S. standard for reporting on controls at service organizations. In the post-Sarbanes-Oxley era, SAS 70 has evolved into a de-facto global standard.

This presentation will focus on the changes with the new standards.

• Fundamentals of the Changes and New Terminology
• Effect on User Organizations and Auditors
