What is the difference between a Type 1 and a Type II SAS 70 audit?
A Type 1 report covers a specific point in time (e.g., January 1, 2007), while a Type II report covers a specific date range (e.g., January 1, 2007 through March 31, 2007). A Type II report also includes a statement on the operating effectiveness of the company’s control activities, which is not part of a Type 1 report.
