HA&W, LLP has certified 26 more title agencies as compliant with ALTA Best Practices. These agencies, along with more than 300 others, have been working with HA&W’s ComplianceSuccess Program. HA&W worked with ALTA, the AICPA and title agents to develop its distinctive ALTA compliance testing.
AICPA standards allow lenders to directly rely upon attestation engagements such as ComplianceSuccess. AICPA standards do not, however, allow third parties such as lenders to directly rely upon agreed-upon procedure or consulting engagement certifications provided by many in the ALTA compliance industry. ComplianceSuccess gives title agents a real advantage in the marketplace as well as increased comfort in their own risk management. HA&W’s attestation-level engagements are required to be totally independent, giving lenders even greater confidence in an agent’s compliance.
For a small agency, the reviews start as low as $4,000, this includes an initial benchmark that acts as a readiness assessment. An examination adds HA&W’s CPA opinion along with increased onsite testing. SOC 1 and SOC 2 reports, along with ISO 27001 certifications, meet the needs of the largest and most sophisticated agencies.
HA&W stands with its clients by only issuing attestation-level ALTA compliance certificates, unlike other CPA firms in the market. Our services are the gold standard, as non-attest reports do not provide an opinion and do not follow the assurance standards of the AICPA.
