ISAE 3402

ISAE 3402 report and certification – Show that you have control over your services

An ISAE 3402 report is an effective tool for demonstrating that your organization has strong internal controls related to financial reporting. For companies providing outsourcing or cloud-based services, it is often a requirement from clients, auditors, and business partners – especially when your services impact their financial reporting.

What is ISAE 3402?

ISAE 3402 (International Standard on Assurance Engagements) is an international auditing standard used to review and verify internal controls at service providers. The standard focuses on processes that may affect a client’s financial reporting and is particularly relevant for accounting firms, payroll management, BPO companies, and cloud service providers.

There are two types of ISAE 3402 reports:

  • Type I – Assesses whether controls exist and are suitably designed at a specific point in time
  • Type II – Evaluates how effectively the controls operate over a period of time (usually 6–12 months)

What does an ISAE 3402 audit cover?

The audit reviews your governance processes, procedures, and IT systems, focusing on controls that affect clients’ financial reporting. The aim is to ensure that these controls are appropriate, well implemented, and functioning effectively – providing your clients with clear assurance that their data is handled in a secure and controlled manner.

Benefits of an ISAE 3402 report

  • Increases trust among clients, investors, and business partners

  • Demonstrates that you comply with established industry standards

  • Strengthens your position in procurements and partnerships
