SAS 70 Report In Lieu Clause Samples

The SAS 70 Report In Lieu clause allows a party to provide a SAS 70 audit report as a substitute for other forms of compliance verification or due diligence documentation. In practice, this means that instead of submitting various internal control documents or undergoing additional audits, a service provider can present a SAS 70 report to demonstrate that its controls and processes have been independently reviewed. This clause streamlines the compliance process by reducing redundant documentation and ensures that both parties rely on a recognized standard for evaluating internal controls.
SAS 70 Report In Lieu. In lieu of granting Sprint access in a fiscal period to conduct an operational audit regarding internal controls on financial reporting, Service Provider may provide Sprint an auditor’s report concerning the Service Provider’s activities issued under Statement of Auditing Standards No. 70 (or any applicable successor thereto) provided that the report (i) is a “Type II” report under such standard, (ii) was prepared by a firm of certified public accountants that is registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and is reasonably acceptable to Sprint, and (iii) covers a time period and is of such scope and result as to provide, to the extent relevant, sufficient evidence to support a favorable assessment by Sprint of its internal controls over financial reporting and its auditors’ attestation and report for that fiscal period. Sprint may still wish to perform their own security assessment.
