Common use of Company Audit Clause in Contracts

Company Audit. Agent shall, upon at least thirty (30) days written notice, no more frequently than once per year, and at mutually agreed dates and times, allow Clients, their auditors and/or their regulators, to inspect, examine, and audit (each, an "Audit") Agent's operations, procedures and business records that are relevant to the Services provided hereunder by Agent (collectively, "Records''), solely to determine Agent's compliance with this Agreement, and only to the extent that such Records were not included within the scope of the SSAE 16, AT 101, or equivalent audit conducted for Agent within the previous calendar year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent may, in its sole discretion, prohibit Clients from entering certain areas of its facilities for security reasons, in which case Agent will provide Clients with alternative access to the Records, information or personnel in such restricted area, to the extent reasonably possible. Audits shall not include penetration testing. Further, Clients agree that any Audit includes the right of Clients to inspect Records on- site at Agent's office, but not the right to copy Records. Clients will provide Agent with a written Scope of Work including a mutually agreed level of detail, at least 10 business days in advance of commencement of an Audit. Agent shall cooperate reasonably and in good faith with Clients' internal or external auditors to ensure a prompt and accurate Audit. In addition, Agent shall address within a reasonable time period and in the manner determined by Agent any practices found to be non-compliant with this Agreement after receipt of a Client Audit report. Clients acknowledge that Agent may require any such auditors and/or regulators of Clients to agree to written confidentiality provisions relating to Agent's proprietary and confidential information that such auditors and/or regulators may have access to during any such Audit. Clients agree to compensate Agent for all out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with any Audit, and also agrees to compensate Agent, in accordance with the Agent fee schedule in effect at the time such Audit, for the time of each Agent employee required to assist such Audit; provided, however, that in no event shall Clients be charged for the time incurred by Agent's Relationship Management employees required to assist such Audit."
