Reduced operational, financial and reporting risks.

Increased stakeholder, client and investor confidence.

WHAT IS SOC 1 TYPE II ?
Service Organization Control Report Type 2 (SOC 1 Type II) is used to assess the suitability of internal controls of a company to sound financial reporting. The Type I report is one that merely examines the design of controls. Design and real operation are verified in the Type II report within 3-12 months.
The audit is significant to all service businesses that undertake financial transactions, payroll, accounting data, SaaS billing, and other systems that have an influence on the financial reporting of clients. According to the SOC 1 Type II report, the company can be trusted, reduce compliance risks, and maintain good governance, which is required by the global clients and regulators.
Why is SOC 1 Type II Important ?
The report provides a clear and time-bound analysis of the effectiveness of financial controls of an organization in reality.
It provides more accuracy, reliability and compliance in financial operations, which provide a stronger confidence to clients, auditors, and stakeholders.
01
Enhances Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting (ICFR)
A SOC 1 Type II audit verifies your operations and financial controls. It reduces the chances of error in data, inaccurate statements as well as fraud, and ensures that your financial reporting is functional throughout the review.
02
Reduces Operational, Process & Compliance Risk
SOC 1 Type II assists companies to prevent errors in payrolls, billing, transaction documentation, and other sensitive financial functions by conducting test controls in a real life situation. It helps to achieve higher compliance and stable operations.

Increases Trust among Clients, Regulators and Stakeholders
A certified SOC 1 Type II report provides a distinct statement that your financial processing environment is adherent, secure, and reliable. It enhances your image among auditors, regulators and business partners.

Shows Long-Term Control Effectiveness
Unlike a Type I report, SOC 1 Type II evaluates controls over an extended period, proving that safeguards don’t just exist—they consistently function as designed over time.
