Oasis Outsourcing Earns National Distinction

March 12, 2010

West Palm Beach, Florida – Oasis Outsourcing, one of the nation’s largest Professional Employer Organizations (Oasis Outsourcing PEO), has become accredited by the Employer Services Assurance Corporation (ESAC) and is participating in its PEO Client Assurance Program.

ESAC is the nationally recognized financial assurance, standard-setting and monitoring entity for the Professional Employer Organization (PEO) industry. Through its voluntary accreditation process, ESAC ensures that participating PEOs adhere to important ethical, financial and operational standards for the purpose of promoting a high level of integrity and responsibility within the PEO industry. As a condition of continued accreditation, Oasis is required to submit quarterly reports to ESAC including financial statements and an independent CPA’s verification of the timely and accurate payment of all payroll taxes, employee benefit contributions and insurance premiums.

“When a client joins Oasis Outsourcing, we assume important employer obligations for their company,” said Mark Perlberg, CEO of Oasis Outsourcing. “Through our participation in ESAC’s PEO Client Assurance Program, these obligations are assured by ongoing ESAC monitoring and the tangible financial protection of surety bonds held on our behalf.” The bonds are held by the Employer Services Trust, with a major national bank serving as Trustee.

This financial protection program from ESAC is similar to the FDIC for the banking industry and provides reimbursement up to $1 million per participating PEO, plus $10 million aggregate for all participating PEOs, for losses to clients, worksite employees, taxing authorities and insurance carriers in the unlikely event that a participating PEO defaults on the payment of wages, taxes, employee benefit contributions or insurance premiums. The PEO Client Assurance Program is designed to provide valuable assurance to Oasis clients without any additional cost.

Oasis Successfully Completes SAS 70 Type II Audit

Oasis Outsourcing Successfully Completes SAS 70 Type II Audit

May 21, 2008
West Palm Beach, FL – Oasis Outsourcing, the nations largest privately-held Professional Employer Organization (PEO), successfully completed a Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 70 Type II audit. The audit, considered the gold standard for service provider audits, was administered by Ernst & Young, one of the nations premier auditing firms. It is an important validation for client companies subject to Sarbanes-Oxley and other reporting requirements.

SAS 70 is an in-depth audit developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) to test the internal controls of service providers processes and procedures. Oasis underwent the more rigorous Type II audit, which not only assures that an organization has controls in place, but tests the effectiveness of those controls over a period of time.

The SAS 70 audit evaluated controls relating to data security and storage, system utilization monitoring, client payroll processing, tax filings and more.

“Because clients entrust critical functions to our care such as payroll and benefits administration, it is very important that we utilize best-in-class procedures to protect their sensitive data,” said Mark Perlberg, CEO of Oasis Outsourcing. “Our successful completion of the SAS 70 Type II audit demonstrates that we have effective internal controls for important processes in place.”

Examples of some of the controls audited include:

Data files, software, and related documentation, both on-site and off-site are properly stored, restricted to authorized users, and that storage sites are periodically reviewed for security of data files.
Measures are in place and facilities are maintained for protection of computer equipment from environmental factors (e.g., fire, dust, water, excessive heat, etc.)
New system software and applications being developed and changes to system software and existing applications are authorized, tested, approved, properly implemented, and documented.
Outbound data transmissions between Oasis and its clients are complete, accurate and secure.
Logical access to firewall architectures and connections is restricted to properly authorized individuals, and that patches/fixes are applied to firewalls on a timely basis.
Payroll data (including voids, reissues, reversal and tax adjustments) is recorded, processed and distributed accurately and completely.
Changes to benefit plans are properly authorized and accurately processed, as well as collected and paid out.
Tax filings and W-2s are recorded, processed and distributed accurately and completely.

“Oasis has always had stringent processes and controls for our key services to help ensure the accuracy and security of our clients data,” said Terry Mayotte, Chief Financial Officer for Oasis. “Completing the SAS 70 Type II audit has confirmed that these processes and controls meet the highest standards.”

Close to 100 guests attended the Open House, which included tours of the offices and Human Resources and Payroll training sessions. With 36,000 square feet of space, Oasis occupies two of the four floors of the building.

“We are very proud of our new offices, and it was a pleasure to host our clients and business associates here,” said Mark Perlberg, President and CEO of Oasis Outsourcing. “The building’s disaster resistant features were very important factors in our selection process due to our commitment to take every measure possible to remain operational for our clients even in the worst of conditions.” Emerald View at Vista Center is located at 2054 and 2056 Vista Parkway off Okeechobee Boulevard, one of Palm Beach County’s busiest thoroughfares.
