Come October 19, 2010 (Tuesday), at 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM ET, the Out With SAS 70 - In With SSAE 16: Are You Ready? Live Webcast will be aired to give light to this hot topic at present.

Event synopsis:

There are significant changes for CPAs who audit the financial statements of companies that utilize service organizations. SAS No. 70 has been split into two new standards:

- SSAE no. 16, Reporting on Controls at a Service Organization which governs the reporting on controls
- The requirements for auditing financial statements of companies will be contained in a newly minted SAS: Audit Considerations Relating to an Entity Using a Service Organization

The replacement of SAS No. 70 will impact many accounting, finance, and other related professionals. The Knowledge Group is producing a 2-hour Live webcast to review the fundamentals and provide updates for SAS 70 transformation. A panel of speaker experts will examine the most significant issues regarding the transition to the new regulations.
