question 6

Essay

Why would a service organization choose to hire an accountant to perform a SAS 70 engagement and issue a report? Would the clients of the service organization
(in other words, the user organizations) want the service organization to provide a
SAS 70 report? Why or why not? What might the service organization consider when
it contracts for a SAS 70 engagement to make the resulting report the most useful
for user organizations and their auditors?
