OPTION 1: On-Site Fieldwork
We will provide you with an itinerary of our on-site visit in advance and work closely with you to make sure the fieldwork runs smoothly. During this time, we'll conduct thorough walkthroughs, assess control effectiveness through testing procedures, gather necessary documentation for review, and more - all while keeping timeliness top of mind. Once completed, we’ll present the initial results during a final exit interview session so that there is clarity around the next steps needed to generate your SOC report. Our aim is 90-95% completion at the end of site visits; ensuring accuracy as well as timely delivery!
OPTION 2:Auditing just got easier - AuditSimple streamlines the process, leveraging technology to provide a virtual audit engagement solution that saves time and effort. Using minimal hardware requirements paired with collaborative software and cameras, we can confidently complete audits in real-time. Additionally, our secure server network provides us with access to required databases used during an audit process; this eliminates manual procedures or lengthy processing times associated with manual processes saving us a considerable amount of time during auditing engagements as well as unnecessary travel time.
