Daiwa Securities Global Asset Services, the fund servicing arm of the Daiwa Securities Group, has obtained a statement of auditing standards, SAS70 report, from its independent auditors KPMG in respect of Daiwa Europe Fund Managers Ireland, its fund administration operation in Ireland.

Following the completion of the fieldwork by KPMG and its issue of the SAS70 report, managing director Karl McEneff says, 'SAS70 has come to be recognised as the benchmark badge of service quality in the fund servicing industry. Daiwa has engaged KPMG to perform the independent review on our control environment and the resulting report is a tangible demonstration of our commitment to service excellence for our clients.'

This development is in addition to the SAS70 report obtained by Daiwa's Custody operation based in London.
