I was forcing my students to slog through a particularly frustrating problem, and every question they asked I answered with a question of my own. Finally, one of my brighter (and more vocal) charges snapped: “Will you just tell us the answer?!!”

The same goes for your employees.

It’s no surprise that people are concerned about security these days. We’ve all seen the stories – from ponzi schemes to hackers to highly publicized business failures – so it makes sense that individuals and business would want to make sure their valuable financial and information assets are being safeguarded by the most reliable processes available. At Accruit we hear these questions and we welcome them because we have no higher priority than the security of our clients’ funds and data.
We’ve recently completed a new brief that articulates Accruit’s security processes and philosophies. Our clients’ funds are held in the nation’s top-rated financial institutions, their data is secured by hundreds of ISO and SAS audited processes, and that’s just the beginning.
We encourage you to review the Accruit security policy sheet and contact us if you have questions.
