STA Receives SSAE 16 Certification
B ecause you demand excellence and
quality in what you do, Sales Tax Asso-
ciates Inc. (STA) takes this standard and
applies it to itself. The company has sought and
received Statement on Standards for Attesta-
tion Engagements (SSAE 16) certification from
an outside source.
SSAE 16 is a standard of the highest quality
set by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants, (AICPA). This distinctive certification
is conducted by an independent AICPA member
accounting firm to monitor and ensure that all
client transaction controls are complete, accurate
and performed in a timely manner. All banking
and data dealings are reviewed for compliance.
This certification standard ensures the firm to
which you are outsourcing your business has key
controls and qualities specific to the line of busi-
ness, as well as controls that are in place are not
effective and are being adhered to. It ensures an
independent auditor is reviewing the design and
operating effectiveness of relevant internal controls.
In an age where security breaches occur
with frequency, an SSAE 16 standard seeks the
highest criteria to prevent these issues by identi-
fying security weaknesses and gaps.
When you choose STA, you can be sure all
the safeguards in place to assure your funds and
information are secure, accurate and completed
in a timely manner.
STA’s specialized skills and depth of industry
knowledge give it the advantage when it comes
to anticipating problems and solving them
before they become serious. Its solid internal
controls will help it meet every obstacle in the
event of an adverse tax filing situation so you
don’t have to worry. p
Count on STA, because it is SSAE 16 certi-
fied. For information, visit the company at booth
413 in the Expo Hall or go to
25 years of sales and telecommunications
industry experience, including work with
national wireless providers.
