3402 statement and ISO 27001

I have an accountant suggesting a 3402 statement instead of a ISO 27001 certificate. Does this make sense?

Answer: I'm assuming you are referring to ISAE 3402, an assurance standard. Considering that, you must first evaluate your needs regarding compliance to legal requirements (e.g., laws, regulations and contracts). If you need to comply with multiple legal requirements, then ISO 27001 has a more comprehensive approach (it requires you to identify, evaluate and treat all requirements that can impact your organization in terms of information security, while ISAE 3402 focus on documenting that an organization has adequate internal controls, generally approached from a financial perspective).
