For Gen II's clients, the SSAE 18 report provides evidence that Gen II has adequately described its controls and, that its controls were suitably designed and operating effectively to achieve their specified objectives.
SOC examined the design and effectiveness of Gen II's specified controls from 1 December 2017 to 30 November 2018.
Steven Alecia, Gen II's chief client officer, commented: "Gen II's SSAE 18 is a vital qualification for our clients and their investors. Investors in our clients' funds rely upon our annual SSAE 18 examination to satisfy their operational due diligence assessments.”
He added: “The SSAE 18 validates that our dedicated service team model, internal quality control department, and most experienced team in the industry enable us to continually raise the bar for best-in-class private equity fund administration."
