Understanding SOC1_SOC2 Attestation Report 1 Credit
How Should Financial Statement Auditors and Other Relying Parties Use the Reports?
Select your learning mode
Organizations that provide services to other entities need a way to manage risks associated with outsourcing those services.Â
The original standard for reducing that risk was known as a SAS 70 Attestation which was performed by a CPA. The result was a report used to demonstrate the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting. Organizations began to use the report as evidence that a vendor was secure and safe to work with. When the SSAE 16 report was introduced, it was renamed Systems and Organization Controls 1 (SOC 1) and continued to address financial criteria. SOC 2 was created at the same time to specifically address security, privacy, availability, integrity, and confidentiality. In other words, everything else that doesn't affect financial reporting.
Examples of organizations that might be required to perform a SOC 1 and or SOC 2 Attestation:
If your organization hosts financial information or has a system or process that impacts the financial statements of a client, then SOC 1 is for you. If you are a third-party provider with a system used by other organizations, a SOC 2 Attestation could be requested from you. It's not uncommon to need both SOC 1 and 2 Attestation reports.

Audits of System and Organization Controls 1 and 2 was a very good refresher course in the pronouncements and the impact of Sarbanes Oakley. I deeply appreciate Blaise's capacity to keep the audience interested in a rather challenging topic. Great way to gain auditing refreshment of prior knowledge studied but never utilized. Thank you!
This is a great seminar as a refresher course for SOC 1, 2, and 3. The course is especially valuable for those who rarely utilize SOC consultation, but is a very good and understandable narative as part of the CPA's learning experience. Thank you.
