LPB Energy Management Receives 2010 SAS 70 Type II Certification

DALLAS, TEXAS – June 29, 2010 – LPB Energy Management (LPB) announced today that it has received its annual Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 70 Type II certification. This highest level certification demonstrates the effectiveness of LPB’s internal controls and procedures related to its utility management solution. LPB’s 2010 Type II audit opinion not only reviewed the company’s description of controls, but also included detailed testing of those controls over an extended period of time.

SAS 70 is a widely recognized auditing standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) to represent that a service organization has undergone an in-depth audit of their control objectives and activities involving information technology and related processes. For this detailed audit, LPB retained the services of McGladrey & Pullen, LLP, a member of RSM International, the seventh-largest worldwide accounting and consulting organization. The internal controls McGladrey & Pullen tested include data center security, network access security, software management, and invoice data collection, validation, processing, and payment.

“In today’s economy, it is crucial that service organizations, such as ours, provide clients with the highest level of confidence and security when it comes to outsourced business processing,” said Matthew Berke, founder and president of LPB. “The SAS 70 Type II certification is just one of the ways that LPB is committed to delivering the highest quality solution to its clients.”
