A SOC 1 (Service Organization Control 1) Audit is an independent examination of the controls at a service organization that are relevant to a client’s internal control over financial reporting (ICFR). In the crypto space, this applies to entities providing services that impact their clients’ financial statements, such as custodial services or transaction processing.
Mechanism
The audit assesses the design (Type 1) and operating effectiveness (Type 2) of a service organization’s controls related to services provided to user entities. It results in a report that provides assurance to user entities and their auditors regarding the reliability of the service organization’s financial reporting processes.
Methodology
For crypto firms, undergoing a SOC 1 audit demonstrates a commitment to robust internal controls for financial operations, which is crucial for institutional adoption and regulatory compliance. The report aids clients, typically investment funds or other regulated entities, in fulfilling their own financial reporting obligations and assessing the risks associated with outsourcing critical functions to a crypto service provider.
