Hello, I can support your SOC 1 Type I readiness and audit engagement for your financial operations platform, ensuring alignment with AICPA SSAE 18 SOC 1 requirements and preparing a complete, audit-ready control environment. My approach: I will first map your system processes (GL feeds, reconciliation, automated journals, and access controls) into a formal control matrix aligned with SOC 1 control objectives. Then I will document management’s system description, define control activities, and ensure evidence readiness for auditor review. This includes structuring access control logs, reconciliation workflows, and change management evidence in a way that meets SSAE 18 expectations. I will also prepare supporting documentation including management assertion, risk-control mapping, and remediation notes where applicable. All workpapers will be organized in audit-standard format for smooth CPA review and future SOC 1 Type II extension. Deliverables will be structured for audit efficiency: SOC 1 Type I report (CPA-issued), control matrix, management representation letter, and encrypted workpaper package. Timeline: 4–6 weeks depending on system complexity and evidence availability. Thanks, Asif.
