Wilmington SOC 1 Audits

Organizations across the board, including publicly traded companies, private companies, and not-for-profits may require verification that the third-party data security experts who work on their financial statements operate under a strong set of internal controls. These verifications come in the form of various levels of System and Organization Controls (SOC) reports. The reports assure your clients and prospective clients that your internal controls are secure. Examples of service companies that may require such reports include data center companies, loan servicing companies, medical claims processors, and payroll processors.

SOC 1 reports, also known as the Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) 18, focus on your organization’s business processes and IT controls. Any that are likely to be relevant to an audit of your customers’ financial statements are documented in the report.

There are two types of SOC reports:

  • SOC 1 Type 1 Reports – These reports are designed to test the design of the organization’s systems and how effectively they meet control objectives on a certain date.
  • SOC 2 Type 2 Reports – This report identifies if the organization’s internal controls are designed and operating effectively based on control objectives.
  • Readiness Assessments – PBMares offers an assessment designed to identify whether an organization is ready to successfully complete a SOC 1 examination. Our team identifies areas of strength, weakness, and the improvements which need to be made to comply with SOC 1 standards.
