SOC 1 reports provide assurance over controls at a service organisation that may affect user entities’ internal control over financial reporting.

No. SOC 1 focuses on financial reporting controls, while SOC 2 focuses on Trust Services Criteria such as security, availability and confidentiality.

Payroll processors, accounting outsourcers, claims administrators, payment processors, fund administrators and financial system providers may need SOC 1 readiness.

A control objective describes what a set of controls is intended to achieve, such as complete and accurate transaction processing.

Evidence may include approvals, reconciliations, access reviews, exception logs, change records, incident records and management review evidence.

A Type 1 report evaluates control design at a specific point in time.

A Type 2 report evaluates both design and operating effectiveness over a defined period.

Some IT general controls may overlap, but SOC 1 must still focus on financial reporting risks and control objectives.

Readiness should begin before the reporting period so controls can operate consistently and evidence can be collected.
