SAS70 is an acronym for the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ (AICPA) Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 70. SAS70 defines the professional standards that auditors use to assess a service organization’s internal controls and to issue a report of findings. The auditor’s report evaluates specific components of a company’s operational procedures, including the control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication systems, and monitoring practices.

Engaging a third-party auditor to ensure that LKCS’s internal controls and processes comply with government standards demonstrates an organizational commitment to quality and security, and provides our clients with assurance regarding our ability to safeguard their confidential information.
