TradeCard Completes SAS 70 Type II Examination for Operations Controls
Market Wire, June, 2007
TradeCard Inc., the leading provider of global trade solutions for financial and physical supply chain automation, has announced the completion of a SAS 70 Type II examination of its internal controls related to the processing of transactions on the TradeCard Platform.
SAS 70 examinations were performed by Ernst & Young LLP to report on TradeCard's controls over the processes and data that impact its customers and partners.
"As an on-demand global trade platform, our customers' data and the control processes that surround them are vital to our business," said Kurt Cavano, CEO of TradeCard Inc. "We don't just want to be a trusted platform for conducting global trade, we are determined to be the most trusted platform. The SAS 70 examinations provide assurance that our operations and management are responsive to the needs of our customers to help manage security and accuracy throughout the TradeCard transaction flow."
TradeCard's SAS 70 examination builds on the trust and security it demonstrated in 2006 when it received the WebTrust seal. The completion of the SAS 70 examination further validates TradeCard's dedication to processes and controls that assure its customers and partners of the stability of the TradeCard system.
Statement on Auditing Standards No. 70 (SAS 70) was established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) for service organizations to provide the basis for examining controls related to financial transaction processing and for assessing its operational measures and defined control objectives. Areas of examination for TradeCard include customer acquisition, activation and accounting reconciliation processes, and related general computer controls relative to TradeCard's processing environment.
