Tech Firm Wins SSAE 16 Certification: The Center for Business Innovation, a Lansing-based technology service provider, announced that it has recently completed its examination in conformity with Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 16, Reporting on Controls at a Service Organization, for the period Oct. 31, 2012 through Oct. 31, 2013. The examination was performed by an independent auditing firm. Completion of the SSAE 16 Type I examination indicates that selected Center for Business Innovation processes, procedures and controls have been formally evaluated and tested by an independent accounting and auditing firm. The examination included the company's controls related to cloud Computing Services and Systems. SSAE 16 is designated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as an acceptable method for a user entity's management to obtain assurance about service organization internal controls without conducting additional assessments. In addition, the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 make SSAE 16 reports even more important to the process of reporting on effective internal controls by public companies. A SSAE 16 examination is widely recognized, because it represents that a service organization has been through an evaluation of their control activities as they relate to an audit of the financial statements of its customers. A Type I report includes the service organization's system description, and an evaluation of the design of the service organization's controls. CBIn is a single source technology service provider. As a single organization, CBI provides managed services, managed print services and professional services to more than 3,000 organizations in Michigan and the Midwest regions, as well as internationally.
