Learning Objective

  • To obtain a basic understanding of SOC audit.
  • To identify the different types of SOC reports.
  • To determine when a SOC report is needed.
  • To discuss the new Cybersecurity SOC report.

Course Overview

As organizations outsource financially significant business processes, auditors need to rely on service organization auditors to obtain sufficient evidence related to the financial transactions performed by these outsourcing organizations. This evidence is frequently obtained by requesting a Service Organization Control (SOC) report that addresses the internal controls that operate at the service organization. 

As these SOC reports are a critical part of audit evidence, it is vital that both auditors and those using the service organization have a thorough understanding of the components, uses, and issues related to using a SOC report in an audit.

In this online CPE course, Speaker Robert Minniti will discuss various types of SOC reports and when organizations should obtain a SOC report. He will discuss reviewing a SOC report to determine if the vendor meets the internal control requirements your company has established. He will also discuss the new Cybersecurity SOC report.

This CPE Audit Course is designed for individuals who would like to obtain a basic understanding of SOC reports. 

This course covers the following Major Topics: 

  • Service Organization, SOC Timeline, and Types of SOC reports
  • SOC 1 - ICFR
  • SOC 2 – Trust Services Criteria
  • SOC 3 - Trust Services Criteria for General Use
  • SOC for Cybersecurity
  • SOC for Cybersecurity Report
