ATLANTA, GA (PRWeb)  TaxConnex, LLC, America’s leading independent sales and use tax outsourcing and consulting firm, announces the successful completion of both an SSAE 16 (SOC 1) Type 2 and an SOC 2 Type 2 audit.  TaxConnex is pleased to announce that no exceptions were reported.

These audits were performed by independent Certified Public Accountants.  Type 2 SOC audits are more demanding than Type 1 audits.

TaxConnex’s audit covered control objectives meant to ensure the setup of new clients in the TaxConnex process, the accuracy of tax return preparation, the accuracy and timeliness of payment processing, data security, back-up procedures, and more.

SOC reporting is the evolution from the older SAS70 reporting.  An SOC 1 audit, prepared in accordance with Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) No. 16, Reporting on Controls at a Service Organization, is specifically intended to meet the needs of customers and their auditors as they evaluate the effect of the controls at the service organization relevant to customer’s financial reporting.  An SOC 2 audit, prepared under AT Section 101, Attest Engagement (AICPA, Professional Standards), follows a predefined, rigorous framework to report on the controls of service organizations, including the design and effectiveness of policies, communications, procedures and monitoring based on detailed criteria. 

“These audits reaffirm TaxConnex’s commitment to the highest standards of quality of service.  It is third party validation that we deliver what we promise,” states TaxConnex Partner Brian Greer.  “The SSAE 16 audit provides our customers with reassurance and confidence they’ve chosen a partner that operates with security and processing integrity, and that their cash payments are processed in a timely and accurate manner.”

Complete copies of both the SOC 1 and SOC 2 reports are available to TaxConnex clients upon request.
