MCLEAN, VA, March 20, 2014 (Press-News.org) Corcentric, a leading provider of Accounts Payable automation and electronic invoicing solutions, announced the successful completion of their annual Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) No 16, also known as the Service Organization Controls examination for its Software as a Service (SaaS) AP automation platform.

SSAE 16 is an auditing standard issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). Its purpose is to allow customers to obtain assurances about a SaaS provider's system and the suitability of the design of its controls. SSAE 16 is designated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an acceptable method for a user entity's management to obtain assurance about service organization internal controls without conducting additional assessments.

Completion of the SSAE 16 examination indicates that critical Corcentric application and data management, operational processes, procedures, and internal controls have been formally evaluated and tested by an independent auditing firm.

Mark Joyce, Executive Vice President and CFO of Corcentric states, "COR360 customers can feel confident that Corcentric is committed to the security of their data and has controls and procedures in place in COR360 designed to process their information in a responsible and reliable manner. This is relevant to COR360 customers, specifically for their own internal control processes over financial reporting."

Loblolly pine genome is largest ever sequenced

2014-03-20

BETHESDA, MD – MARCH 20, 2014 – The massive genome of the loblolly pine—around seven times bigger than the human genome—is the largest genome sequenced to date and the most complete conifer genome sequence ever published. This achievement marks the first big test of a new analysis method that can speed up genome assembly by compressing the raw sequence data 100-fold. The draft genome is described in the March 2014 issue of GENETICS and the journal Genome Biology. Loblolly pine is the most commercially important tree species in the United States and the source of most ...

First evidence of plants evolving weaponry to compete in the struggle for selection

2014-03-20

Rutting stags and clawing bears are but two examples of male animals fighting over a mate, but research in New Phytologist has uncovered the first evidence of similar male struggles leading to the evolution of weaponry in plants. The team, led by Dr. Andrea Cocucci from the Instituto Multidisciplinario de Biologia Vegetal of Argentina, studied a species of milkweed (Apocynaceae), found in tropical climates. While plants do not mate like animals, but rather reproduce via pollinators such as insects or birds, competition between individuals to exploit those pollinators ...

Among US children, more infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria

2014-03-20

Infections caused by a concerning type of antibiotic-resistant bacteria are on the rise in U.S. children, according to a new study published in the Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society and available online. Although still uncommon, the bacteria are increasingly found in children of all ages, especially those 1-5 years old, raising concerns about dwindling treatment options. Researchers led by Latania K. Logan, MD, of Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, analyzed resistance patterns in approximately 370,000 clinical isolates from pediatric patients, ...

Loblolly pine's immense genome conquered

2014-03-20

The massive genome sequence of the loblolly pine — the most commercially important tree species in the United States and the source of most American paper products — has been completed by a nationwide research team, led by a UC Davis scientist. The draft genome — approximately seven times bigger than the human genome — is the largest genome sequenced to date and the most complete conifer genome sequence ever published. The sequencing was accomplished by using, for the first time, a faster and more efficient analytical process. The achievement is described in two papers ...

Safety first, children

VIDEO: A mother and child discuss whether a scenario is dangerous, for a new study by the University of Iowa examining how parents can keep their children safe. Click here for more information. As parents, we've all been there: Watching our children teeter on a chair, leap from the sofa, or careen about the playground, fearing the worst. And, we all wonder, how can we teach them to be safer? Such was the goal of a team of researchers at the University of Iowa, who analyzed in ...

Tiny transistors for extreme environs

2014-03-20

SALT LAKE CITY, March 20, 2014 – University of Utah electrical engineers fabricated the smallest plasma transistors that can withstand high temperatures and ionizing radiation found in a nuclear reactor. Such transistors someday might enable smartphones that take and collect medical X-rays on a battlefield, and devices to measure air quality in real time. "These plasma-based electronics can be used to control and guide robots to conduct tasks inside the nuclear reactor," says Massood Tabib-Azar, a professor of electrical and computer engineering. "Microplasma transistors ...

Where are we with breast cancer in 2013?

2014-03-20

The global burden of breast cancer remains immense in 2013, with over 1.6 million new cases being diagnosed annually. This burden has been increasing at a rate of 3.1% per year, and while the majority of new cases are diagnosed among women in developed countries, the 450,000 deaths per year from the disease are now equally divided between the developing and developed world, the 9th European Breast Cancer conference (EBCC-9) will hear tomorrow (Friday). Professor Peter Boyle, Director of the University of Strathclyde Institute of Global Public Health at the International ...

Choice of GP practice pilot most popular with young commuters and patients moving home

2014-03-20

A pilot scheme allowing patients to visit GPs outside the area they live in was most popular among younger commuters and people who had moved house but did not want to change their GP, according to a new report by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. The Department of Health's Choice of GP pilot scheme found that while demand overall was modest, participants were generally positive about the scheme and there was little sign of major increased cost to primary care trusts (PCTs) for providing the service. Patients will be able to register with volunteer practices ...
