SOC 1 Type 1
Evaluates the design and implementation of controls relevant to financial reporting at a single point in time
What is it?
SOC 1 Type 1 reports evaluate the design and implementation of controls relevant to financial reporting at a single point in time. This is often used as a first-time attestation for clients, partners, and regulators.
Organizations must effectively demonstrate to stakeholders, including clients and partners, that their internal controls are both effective and reliable for accurate financial reporting. The SOC 1 Type 1 report acts as a crucial document that bolsters trust and credibility with clients and regulatory authorities.
