SSAE18: Effective third-party and service provider management and supervision

In an increasingly regulated and risk-prone business environment, the SSAE 18 report has become a key tool for transparency and trust in outsourced services. This standard, issued by the AICPA, allows organizations to demonstrate adequate control over the processes that impact their clients' financial statements, mitigating associated risks.

The SSAE18 report, also known as the Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements no. 18 is a standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). This report is designed to audit service organizations' internal controls, thereby helping to ensure their provided services' quality and safety.
