Privileged Audits

When our clients are facing a BSA audit or when they decide to conduct a proactive compliance assessment, Scott & Scott, LLP can carefully conduct a complete audit of the IT infrastructure.  We are able to use our specially designed BSA AuditorTM to determine what software is installed on a client's network, filter out any software produced by non-BSA members, and prepare a detailed report that is fully protected by the attorney-client and attorney-work product privileges.  Our BSA Auditor™ software was designed exclusively for businesses who were trying to evaluate their current level of compliance or defend BSA audits.  BSA Auditor™ runs remotely in a client's environment, capturing the audit data with no disruption to day-to-day operations. To help ensure maintain the attorney-client privilege, no data resides on the client’s network and all reporting is done by Scott & Scott, LLP.  Because we have spent years developing a database of relevant titles, BSA Auditor™ is able to quickly eliminate the need to examine all software products.  Finally, only BSA Auditor™ integrates with our BSA fine calculator to estimate your potential exposure in a Business Software Alliance audit. When dealing with issues potentially damaging to your business’ financial interest, confidentiality and relevant data are of paramount importance. To learn more about BSA Auditor™ contact us now.
