Payroll Solutions Earns SAS 70 Type II Certification; Certification Gives Public Companies Confidence in Outsourcing Payroll Services.

PITTSBURGH -- Payroll Solutions today announces the successful completion of its first SAS 70 Type II audit (Statement on Auditing Standards, No. 70, Service Organizations). This internationally recognized auditing standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) is a vital third-party evaluation and recording of internal controls, along with the independent auditor's tests and findings.

Payroll Solutions handles payroll, time and attendance, and human resource management systems for medium to large-sized organizations. Based on the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the SAS 70 is a rigorous audit that legitimizes an outsourced "material service" such as payroll services for public companies.

"Human resources and payroll services are the most sensitive aspects of doing business," states president and co-founder of Payroll Solutions, Michael Maggs. "SAS 70 is one more quality benchmark for our customers and reassurance that their sensitive payroll information and activity is secure and well managed. We have over a 98 percent customer retention rate due to the effective and secure way that we integrate service and technology for the payroll industry."

Payroll Solutions selected Deloitte & Touche LLP to perform the audit because of their vast resources of expertise regarding internal controls and the Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 70. Payroll Solutions plans to continue to maintain this certification with regular audits.
