Benefits Of CloudAudit

The benefits to the Cloud Service Provider are to enable the automation of typically one-off labor-intensive, repetitive and costly auditing, assurance and compliance functions and provide a controlled set of interfaces to allow for assessments by consumers of their services.

The benefits to the “consumer” of the Cloud services or their duly-authorized representatives are to provide a consistent and standardized interface to the information produced by the service provider.

We intend not to be prescriptive as to the mechanisms used to gather the data or how these interfaces are presented, but rather provide a consistent representation to the consumer and the tools they choose to utilize. There will likely be programmatic interfaces (in the classical definition of an API) but we will focus initially on representative schema and data structures mapped to existing compliance, security and assurance frameworks.

Audits for Startups: Are You Prepared?

No one ever looks forward to being audited—and most businesses will go a long time without the Internal Revenue Service poking it’s fingers into their financial affairs. Yet should it happen, it’s essential to be prepared.
No one ever looks forward to being audited—and most businesses will go a long time without the Internal Revenue Service poking it’s fingers into their financial affairs. Yet should it happen, it’s essential to be prepared.

There are three things every startup should do right from the start:

1. Don’t DIY

An audit’s primary purpose is to make sure the business is compliant with all relevant laws and regulations. For that reason it’s essential that tax documents be prepared by—or at least reviewed by—a professional who knows those laws and can understand how they apply to a given business.

2. Keep documents the appropriate length of time

In order to check for compliance an auditor will need access to a wide variety of documentation. Not having those documents on hand can lead to serious additional costs. Not only can a tax professional help make sure documents are properly prepared, they can also help the company decide how long to keep various types of information on hand.

3. Make sure those documents are organized and easy to navigate

The best way to keep the audit process simple and quick is to ensure everything an auditor will need is easy to find and neatly organized. Since much of the information they’ll need to access will be of a sensitive nature, using a secure virtual data room is a good way to keep documents accessible and organized without the need to store them physically in limited office space (perhaps that’s why so many companies are choosing digital cloud storage over physical).

Startups that follow these three steps will be prepared should the IRS ever look their way.

Why Cloud Audit is needed for Startups?
As a company grows, there are more laws to comply with. Instead of waiting for your business to grow and then create a compliance function, isn’t it better to be well-prepared from the very beginning? Perhaps many Why Your Startup Needs a Compliance Functionentrepreneurs find this unnecessary since they feel they can themselves stay on top of what is required. There are 2 obvious issues here:

Laws are every-changing. How will one keep track of everything after a certain point? The company will grow which will only mean more laws to comply with.

Compliance is not restricted to the financial and legal space – the natural, but less mentioned, extension into the organization’s HR, Payroll and IT areas is just as important.
The case could be made that smaller companies require a Compliance function more than large companies do. A small business cannot afford employee fraud, waste, loss of name or a government fine.
