CU*Answers is currently engaged in the fieldwork for the 2020 SSAE-18 SOC 2. The fieldwork will be performed in March and April, with the final report to be issued later in Calendar 2021. CU*Answers will continue to provide Bridge Letters for 2019 until the final audit report for 2020 is published.
The CU*Answers Due Diligence page is designed to assist our clients and prospective clients in fulfilling any obligation to conduct due diligence provided by our cooperative. This “one stop shop” is to help simplify your needs when conducting vendor due diligence. You can also request Bridge Letters from our Auditing Team.
