SSAE 18 replaces SSAE 16, covers greater number of attestation reports.
OneNeck® IT Solutions has announced completion of the System and Organization Controls (SOC) attestation segments of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) 18 examination.
The SSAE 18 examination replaces SSAE 16. The most noticeable difference is the additional information required, along with added scrutiny of the information provided, which now includes date/time stamp evidence and queries for how certain populations are generated. The SSAE 18 also retains the stringent requirements of the SSAE 16, such as addressing clarity, length and complexity of many AICPA standards.
