Our approach  
At BDO we can help you with all types of Service Organisation Control Assurance Reports. Together with you, we first identify what type of report suits your service provision best and determine its scope. As a service organisation you subsequently carry out a risk analysis and draw up the control framework. We then check the design and implementation of control measures carried out by your organisation. We then test whether the control measures operated effectively during the report period. Finally, we arrive at an independent assessment and draw up the assurance report that is part of your Service Organisation Control Reports.
