SOC 1 is a globally recognized attestation framework developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) that evaluates how organizations design and operate controls relevant to internal control over financial reporting (ICFR). A SOC 1 report demonstrates that an organization has implemented effective controls that impact its customers’ financial statements, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and reliability of financial reporting processes.
SOC 1 Compliance in Malaysia is critical for service organizations such as payroll processors, accounting and finance outsourcing firms, fund administrators, payment processors, ERP service providers, and shared service centers that support client financial reporting activities. SOC 1 compliance is achieved through an independent third-party attestation, where a licensed CPA firm evaluates whether the organization’s controls are suitably designed (SOC 1 Type I) and operating effectively over a defined period (SOC 1 Type II). A SOC 1 report provides assurance to customers, auditors, and regulators that financial reporting controls meet internationally accepted standards.
To meet the requirements of the SOC 1 framework, organizations typically require structured, end-to-end support covering scope definition, risk assessment, control identification, documentation, evidence management, readiness assessment, and audit coordination. VerosCert delivers comprehensive SOC 1 readiness and attestation support through a proven consulting methodology that begins with assessing controls relevant to financial reporting and continues through control documentation, implementation support, internal testing, and audit preparedness. VerosCert works closely with management, finance, compliance, and operational teams to ensure SOC 1 controls are practical, auditable, and aligned with business processes, enabling organizations to successfully complete SOC 1 Type I or Type II attestation while strengthening financial control assurance and client confidence.
We begin with a SOC 1 gap analysis to assess existing controls relevant to financial reporting against SOC 1 requirements. Focused awareness sessions help teams understand control objectives, audit expectations, and their role in maintaining reliable financial reporting controls.
We assist in developing SOC 1-aligned policies, procedures, and control documentation covering financial processes, access controls, and change management. Controls are embedded into daily operations to ensure they are practical, auditable, and consistently applied./p>
Before the audit, we perform a SOC 1 readiness assessment to validate control design and evidence related to financial reporting. Gaps are identified early, and corrective actions are guided to ensure readiness for SOC 1 Type I or Type II attestation.
VerosCert manages end-to-end SOC 1 audit coordination with licensed CPA firms, supporting scope finalization, evidence submission, and auditor interactions to ensure a smooth attestation process and a reliable SOC 1 report.
At VerosCert, we approach SOC 1 compliance as more than an audit requirement—it is a structured framework for strengthening financial reporting integrity, operational accountability, and auditor confidence. By helping organizations understand and implement SOC 1 control principles, we ensure the SOC 1 journey delivers measurable improvements in internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR). These principles form the foundation of a reliable, audit-ready SOC 1 report.
