Agile-1 Successfully Completes Annual SSAE 16 Type II Audit

TORRANCE, California, January 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Agile-1, a premier provider of total workforce solutions, announced it has successfully completed the 2011 SSAE 16 Type II Audit, which resulted in an unqualified report, with no findings identified. Agile-1's SSAE 16 annual audit and compliance demonstrates its unparalleled commitment to provide best-in-class solutions, processes, and consulting services to its clients while maintaining the highest level of internal controls.

SSAE 16 is an internationally recognized third-party assurance audit for service providers. On June 15, 2011, it effectively replaced its predecessor, the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 70 (SAS 70), as the leading compliance initiative for service organizations. A refined version of the SAS 70, it provides an enhanced Auditor's report requiring service organizations to provide an Assertion Statement with a reasonable basis to support it. To ensure a comprehensive audit, Agile-1 identified 14 areas of control, including enterprise-wide management systems, policies and procedures, network operations, data, change management, design and development, implementation, security, computer controls, and accounting and billing processes.

"As an organizational best practice, we continually evaluate our control environment and the risk assessment process," said Peter Carvalho, president, Agile-1. "We take our ongoing commitment to this process very seriously and recognize that the SSAE 16 audit reassures our clients of Agile-1's strict adherence to the systematic compliance controls established by Sarbanes-Oxley."

Since initiating annual SAS 70 Type II and now the SSAE 16 audits, Agile-1 has received only unqualified reports. "Receiving an unqualified report from a top auditing firm using the new AICPA standards confirms that our clients are receiving the most reliable solutions for managing their workforce enterprise-wide," said Peter.
