Audit & Attestation

ISAE 3402

Assurance Reports on Controls at a Service Organization

Formal standard Global IAASB Since 2009

The international assurance standard for reporting on controls at a service organisation that are relevant to its customers' financial reporting: the report an outsourced provider gives its clients' auditors.

Where SOC 2 answers security questions, ISAE 3402 answers the auditor's question about whether your controls can be relied on in someone else's financial statements. ISAE 3000 covers the same mechanics for non-financial subject matter, including BSI C5.
