Q

Service Organizations

Many companies use various types of service bureaus to assist them with the processing of routine transactions.

Certain transactions, like payroll, may require a particular expertise and can often be processed more efficiently by an entity that specializes in that type of transaction. One of the most common types of service bureaus processes the payroll of various customer entities.

Certain transactions, like payroll, may require a particular expertise and can often be processed more efficiently by an entity that specializes in that type of transaction. One of the most common types of service bureaus processes the payroll of various customer entities.

When an entity uses one of these service bureaus, also referred to as service organizations, AU-C section 402, Audit Considerations Relating to an Entity Using a Service Organization, provides guidance as to the impact on an audit.

It defines a service organization as “an organization or segment of an organization that provides services to user entities that are relevant to those user entities’ internal control over financial reporting.”

The objective of the “user auditor” (the auditor of the client using the services of the service organization), are to obtain an understanding of the nature and significance of the services provided, and evaluate their effect on the user entity’s internal control in order to assess the risks of material misstatement, and to design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks.

Since the auditor is not in a position to examine the activities of such an outside organization, they will often need to rely on reports of the auditor of the service organization itself, referred to as the service auditor.

The service auditor will usually issue a report on the internal control structure that the user auditor may consider in assessing the internal control structure of the client.

The report on internal control structure by the service organization’s auditor will describe the services of the organization that are covered by the report and a description of the auditor’s procedures.

This will enable the auditor of one of the service organization’s customers to understand the overall impact of the service organization’s work on the internal control structure of the customer.

Before relying on such a report, the auditor should be satisfied as to the competence and independence of the service auditor, and the adequacy of the standards under which the report was issued.

The report of the service organization’s auditor will assist the customer’s auditor in gaining an understanding of the internal control structure of the customer, to the extent it depends on the service organization’s work.

This will not, however, be considered a basis for determining the effectiveness of the customer’s internal control structure, so the use of the report is not a division of responsibility.

As a result, there must be no reference to the auditor of the service organization in the audit report on the financial statements of the customer.

Service Organizations To rely upon a type 1 or type 2 report, the auditor should: * Determine that the date of a type 1 report, or the period covered by a type 2 report is appropriate for the auditor’s needs; * Evaluate whether the evidence provided by the report is appropriate and sufficient for the purpose of obtaining an understanding of the user’s internal control; and * Determine if the user entity has developed controls that are complementary to those of the service organization that address risks of material misstatement relating to relevant assertions in the user’s financial statements.
