California Payroll Earns Coveted SAS 70 Certification

BRENTWOOD, CA, July 19, 2005 – California Payroll announced it has earned a SAS 70 certification for the company’s payroll systems. This is a report on policies placed in operations for the company’s payroll systems as of May 23, 2005. The SAS 70 is an internationally recognized auditing standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).

“The SAS 70 validates the quality and integrity of our payroll systems and processes,” stated Henry Lonsdale, president, California Payroll. “The SAS 70 also looks very closely at our information technology and the security procedures we have in place. It speaks highly of the emphasis we have placed on the consistency and accuracy of our process and controls. By attaining the SAS 70 certification, clients are ensured that California Payroll satisfies specific management and operational standards; and it demonstrates that California Payroll is a service provider you can rely on.”

The audit focused on several key areas, including control environment elements; control objectives and procedures in such areas as data loss prevention and system redundancy and physical and network security; and client control considerations, such as payroll input and output process controls. The resulting audit report concluded that California Payroll has employed effective system controls in these areas.

“The successful completion of the SAS 70 Type I audit provides validation to our clients that California Payroll is committed to delivering only the highest quality of service in the payroll service industry,” said Lonsdale. The company is already investigating pursuing a Type II audit in the near future.
