Press Release Summary: Outsource Partners International, Inc., a member of Russell
Bedford International, successfully passes an audit of its internal processes and
controls for outsourced finance and accounting functions.


Press Release Body: Outsource Partners International, Inc., a member of Russell
Bedford International, announced its successful completion of a SAS 70 Type II
audit. The audit stands as a third-party independent opinion on the effectiveness of
internal controls for outsourced functions such as accounts payable, accounts
receivable, project accounting and financial reporting.

SAS 70, an internationally recognised standard developed and managed by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), validates the adequacy of a
service organisation\'s processes and control activities around the hosting and
processing of data. Successful SAS 70 Type II audits assure service providers are
operating in stable and secure environments, and they ensure that controls are being
effectively implemented by testing processes and controls for a period of at least
six months.

Kishore Mirchandani, OPI\'s President, noted: \"The SAS 70 Type II audit serves as a
testament to the high degree of rigor we place around our processes and management
of client data. No matter if we are providing our clients services in the United
States, India or Europe, they can continue to rest assured that their financial
information is handled according to internationally recognised standards of security
and control.\"

Clarence T. Schmitz, OPI\'s Chairman and CEO, added: \"Completion of our SAS 70 Type
II audit provides yet another display of the secure and thorough manner in which OPI
is committed to operating. This audit complements our ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 27001
certifications, and provides credible proof of the strict standards which we follow
every day.\"
