Computershare Communication Services Successfully Passes 'At 101' Audit

BURR RIDGE, Ill., Feb. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Computershare Limited (ASX: CPU), a leading financial services provider for the global securities industry, is pleased to announce that its Computershare Communication Services (CCS) business has successfully passed the AT Section 101 (AT 101) Audit Standard for several of their solution offerings after passing a stringent attestation process.

"Computershare Communication Services clients demand 100 percent accuracy. High quality operations are required today by all industries and especially by customers who deal with financial transactions or mission critical data," said Bernie O'Connor, President, Computershare Communication Services. "While SAS 70 covers our review of financial controls, and IS0 9001: 2008 certification covers our quality process controls, the AT 101 Audit Standard demonstrates compliance for security and risk controls."

AT 101 is another level of a disciplined approach to transparency and quality assurance that Computershare has added.  Computershare knows that well-regarded, third party attestations and certifications provide CCS customers with a higher level of trust and comfort in the services and products provided to them.

AT 101 is a strict auditing standard, for service companies, which provides opinions on their operational and technical controls.  This opinion asserts that the controls in place as of the review period are suitably designed and are operating effectively to achieve specified control objectives that deliver a secure, reliable, and effective operating environment.  

The AT 101 audit was performed through reviews, observations and tests of the CCS operational procedures and controls by a leading independent audit firm, PriceWaterhouseCoopers.
