About ISAE 3402

ISAE 3402 (International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3402) titled “Assurance Reports on Controls at a Service Organisation” is an international assurance standard that describes Service Organisation Control (SOC) engagements. It was developed by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) and published by the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC).

It focuses on the effectiveness of controls related to financial reporting, providing clients with confidence that their outsourced processes are managed securely and transparently. 

An ISAE 3402 attested service provider provides assurance that they have undergone an independent assessment in accordance with international assurance standard of whether adequate controls were placed in operation, suitably designed and operating effectively. It also signals a commitment to operational excellence, risk management and regulatory compliance. 

BDO’s ISAE 3402 attestation ensures our clients and their auditors have access to the same information to meet their auditors’ requirements.
