Independent examination confirms company’s operational excellence.

NES Financial, a FinTech company with leading fund administration, loan servicing, EB-5 administration, and 1031 tax deferred exchange services, announced today the successful completion of its annual compliance examination.

Formerly known as SAS 70, the SSAE 16 SOC 1 Type II examination is a recognized compliance and controls standard from AICPA used by leading financial services companies and service providers across the financial industry. The examination mandates an in-depth review of key control objectives and procedures throughout the company’s control environment. NES Financial’s examination includes technology, information and data, financial and security processes. Conducted by Moss Adams, one of the leading CPA firms in the country, the examination reviews the design of controls and operating effectiveness of the identified key control areas of NES Financial.

The company’s Fund Administration Solution services $18B in real estate funds nationally. The Intelligent EB-5 Solution Suite has been used on over 450 projects representing more than $20B in capital. NES Financial is also the largest independent 1031 qualified intermediary in the country, processing $75B in exchange funds on a yearly basis.
