SOC 1 engagements for organizations whose services impact clients' financial reporting controls.
Service pathway
SOC 1 Type 1 and Type 2 examinations for service organizations whose systems or processes affect a customer's financial reporting controls.
We define the service, systems, processes, control objectives, user-entity responsibilities, stakeholders, and intended report use. The evidence plan assigns owners, clarifies dependencies, and sets a realistic period for operating-effectiveness testing.
A report on controls at a service organization that are relevant to a customer's financial statements. Common examples include payroll processors, fund administrators, and payment gateways.
Tie control objectives to financial reporting → document processes and controls → operate access, change-management, transaction-processing, and related controls → gather evidence over the agreed period → prepare the examination package.
Type 1 evaluates control design at a point in time. Type 2 evaluates design plus operating effectiveness over an observation period, typically three to six months. A licensed CPA firm issues the restricted-use report for customers and their auditors.
