KPMG's IT Attestation practice helps organisations satisfy third-party risk and compliance assurance requirements and demonstrate the integrity of their control environments. As the trend in outsourcing and offshoring continues to expand, user organisations will continue to seek increased levels of assurance over the integrity of service organisations’ control environments. In addition, with the recent introduction of new regulatory and compliance requirements, many organisations are struggling to understand, react to, and respond to the implications of these standards.

Our globally accredited team provides clients with reports on controls that are likely to be relevant to user organisations' internal controls over financial reporting. Additionally, our service includes reports on security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy by using test service principles and agreed-upon report standards. We provide actionable insights to help organisations to enhance their internal control environment, reduce business operation interruptions resulting from multiple audits, and further assist companies by providing them with transparent controls-related information for themselves and their stakeholders.
