More than 2,000 small and midsize businesses, from emerging startups to publicly traded multinationals, pay a monthly per-user fee to access the first SAS 70 Type II certified financial management, supply chain management, business intelligence and project management suites on the Web, which enable them to comply with GAAP and Sarbanes-Oxley. The ability to add new users, applications, currencies and business units as you grow makes Intacct the last financial software you'll ever need.

Intacct delivers financial management software as an Internet subscription service. That means that you don't have to buy, maintain or upgrade software or hardware. Instead, you simply access the financial, supply chain and project management applications through a Web browser.

This on-demand partner network provides customers with the best solutions on the market coupled with a technology platform that simplifies the integrations.

The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) developed the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 70 (SAS 70) to validate that a company has been through an in-depth audit of their control processes. The SAS 70 is the authoritative guidance that allows companies to disclose their control activities and processes to their customers and their customers' auditors in a uniform reporting format. The examination signifies that the company has had its control objectives and control activities examined by an independent accounting and auditing firm. There are two SAS 70 audits, Type I and Type II. Type I is a readiness audit with the company and is really meaningless. Type II, which Intacct has received, is the enforcement of the recommended controls and process for a minimum of six months as outlined by the independent accounting and auditing firm. Intacct has completed its SAS 70 Type II audit with the independent accounting and auditing firm, Grant Thornton. Public and larger companies should insist that their services providers are SAS 70 certified in order to conduct business together.
