Avalaras Internal Controls Earn SSAE 16 Attestation; Auditing Achievement Reflects Commitment, Demonstrates Credentials

Bainbridge Island, WA (PRWEB) April 10, 2012

Avalara (http://www.avalara.com), the market leader and visionary in sales tax automation for businesses of all sizes, today announced its internal control activities have earned a Statement on Standards for Attestations Engagements (SSAE) 16, replacing its Statement on Auditing Standards No. 70 earned in 2010.

SSAE 16 is an attestation standard put forth by the Auditing Standards Board (ASB) of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) that evaluates the internal controls of a service organization. An organization must demonstrate it has established and up-to-date control objectives and activities in place to earn a SSAE 16 attestation.

Virtually every function of the company was touched by the SSAE audit, from our data processing and building security to disaster recovery and backup, said Avalara Founder and CEO Scott McFarlane. The audits sheer scope and resulting attestation clearly reflect Avalaras commitment to maintaining strong controls and procedures for our customers. Its a worthwhile endeavor that demonstrates our credentials and builds on our foundation of trust.

SSAE 16 effectively replaces SAS 70 as the authoritative guidance for reporting on service organizations. SSAE 16 engagements are generally performed by audit, risk, and control oriented professionals who have experience in accounting, auditing, and information security. A SSAE 16 engagement allows a service organization to have its control policies and procedures evaluated and tested by an independent party.
