The certification of NetSuite and NetSuite OneWorld for Germany is based on the German Auditing Standard 880, "Issue and Use of Software Attestation Reports" (IDW PS 880) issued by the Institute of Public Auditors in Germany (IDW), ensuring compliance with Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch), tax regulations defined in the Fiscal Code (Abgabenordnung), IDW Accounting Principles and generally accepted EDP-supported accounting and bookkeeping systems (GoBS). In principle, the Standard requires systems to provide controls, audit trail and reporting capabilities sufficient for a business to deploy Sarbanes-Oxley-like policies and procedures. The audit also covered the extraction of defined master data and transactional data from the system database into external files, allowing data relevant for taxation to be analyzed outside of NetSuite with standardized audit software routinely used by the German tax authority.
Software certification audits in Germany can only be carried out by certified public accountants or auditing firms (known locally as "Wirtschaftsprufungsgesellschaft"). The law requires these firms to have formal approval from Germany's National Chamber of Accountants ("Wirtschaftspruferkammer") and be majority owned by a firm of chartered accountants. NetSuite's certification was carried out by IT AUDIT, a qualified chartered accountants firm that specializes on controls in IT Systems and Processes. Its engagement by NetSuite is governed by the General Engagement Terms by which all audit firms must abide. "NetSuite performed very well against all of our evaluation criteria, based on the legal requirements, and we're happy to certify it for use in Germany," said Heiko Jacob, Partner at IT AUDIT GmbH.
"The rigorous audit certification represents an important, independent test of NetSuite OneWorld and further establishes NetSuite as the leading choice for companies seeking a complete cloud-based business suite for their companies in Germany and across Europe," said Zach Nelson, CEO of NetSuite."
