Setting the standard for security

Dated audit confirmation methods don't protect your clients' data and are susceptible to fraud. The Thomson Reuters Confirmation digital platform is the only way to ensure the process is secure from start to finish, limiting risk for you and your clients.

  • Every party validated

    • The business details of both auditors and bankers are validated before platform use. 
    • The right information goes to the right person, reducing fraud risk.
    • Only the authorised signer can electronically sign the confirmation. 
    • All user activity is logged in the platform, creating an electronic confirmation trail. 

  • End-to-end security 

    • All signatures, attachments, and completed confirmation documents are protected using AES-256 encryption, mitigating risk. 
    • We exceed industry standards and pass hundreds of security and compliance reviews each year. 
    • We undergo two Service Organization Control (SOC) exams annually.

  • Fraud prevention 

  • Integrated solutions
