Project Description
I need a licensed CPA firm to perform a full SOC 1 Type I examination covering our in-house financial operations platform. The engagement should result in a formal report that includes management’s description of the system, the CPA’s opinion on the suitability of design of controls as of the specified date, and all supporting workpapers.
Scope
• Environment: end-to-end financial operations (general ledger feeds, reconciliation routines, automated journal entries, and user-access management).
• Framework: AICPA SSAE 18, SOC 1 guidance.
• Timing: Fieldwork to begin within four weeks; report issued no later than six weeks after testing.
• Future work: A Type II review may follow, so build documentation with that potential extension in mind.
Deliverables
1. Signed SOC 1 Type I report in PDF.
2. Management representation & assertion letters.
3. Control matrix with any remediation recommendations.
4. Set of finalized workpapers (encrypted archive).
Acceptance criteria: The report must be unqualified, reference the correct control objectives, and meet all AICPA formatting requirements. Please detail your proposed approach, experience with similar financial-operations environments, and estimated schedule to complete.
