Independent Audit Verifies Ascendant\u2019s Internal Controls and Processes<\/em><\/p>\n

Toronto, ON\u2013\u00a0AscendantFX Capital Inc.<\/a>\u00a0(\u201cAscendant\u201d), a leading global payments provider, today announced that it has completed its SOC 1 Type II and SOC 2 Type II audit, performed by\u00a0KirkpatrickPrice<\/a>. This attestation provides evidence that Ascendant has a strong commitment to security and to delivering high-quality services to its clients by demonstrating that they have the necessary internal controls and processes in place.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0SOC 1 audit<\/a>\u00a0provides an independent, third-party validation that a service organization\u2019s information security practices meet industry standards stipulated by the\u00a0AICPA<\/a>\u00a0and SSAE 18. During the audit, a service organization\u2019s controls that are relevant to ICFR are tested. The SOC 1 report delivered by KirkpatrickPrice verifies the suitability of the design and operating effectiveness of USC\u2019s controls to meet the standards for these criteria.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0SOC 2 audit<\/a>\u00a0provides an independent, third-party validation that a service organization\u2019s information security practices meet industry standards stipulated by the\u00a0AICPA<\/a>. During the audit, a service organization\u2019s non-financial reporting controls as they relate to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of a system are tested. The SOC 2 report delivered by KirkpatrickPrice verifies the suitability of the design and operating effectiveness of Ascendant\u2019s controls to meet the standards for these criteria.<\/p>\n

\u201cCompleting our SOC 2 Type II audit demonstrates our ongoing commitment to protecting our customers\u2019 data and maintaining the highest standards of security, reliability, and operational excellence. Our clients trust us with some of their most critical financial transactions, and this validation reinforces that we have the controls, processes, and governance in place to safeguard that trust every day\u201d
\u2013<\/em>Shemina Jiwani<\/em><\/a>, CEO of Ascendant<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cMany of Ascendant\u2019s clients rely on them to securely process critical financial transactions and protect sensitive information,\u201d said\u00a0Joseph Kirkpatrick<\/a>, President of KirkpatrickPrice. \u201cBy successfully completing both their SOC 1 Type II and SOC 2 Type II audits, Ascendant has demonstrated its commitment to maintaining effective controls across its operations. Our independent testing and assessment provide assurance that the controls supporting their services are appropriately designed and operating effectively to meet the needs of their clients.\u201d<\/p>\n
