SOC 1 attestation in Mumbai at a glance
Finance and accounting outsourcing in Mumbai means client auditors reading controls: SEEPZ's service towers and the private SEZ campuses house teams running payroll, billing and transaction work whose accuracy matters to someone else's financial statements. SOC 1 reports on controls at a service organisation that are relevant to its clients' financial reporting, with a Type 1 report on design and a Type 2 report on design and operating effectiveness. Sterling's Mumbai office builds the system with your team on site across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, with Effivity and Sterling Academy included with the engagement. Opinions come from the independent CPA firm you engage, and Sterling's role is readiness: controls designed, operated and evidenced before the examination.

SOC 1 in Mumbai: questions clients ask
Which Mumbai providers are asked for SOC 1?
Providers that run payroll, billing, collections or transaction processing for clients, including units in SEEPZ's service towers and the SEZ campuses, are asked by client auditors for a report on controls relevant to financial reporting. A licensed CPA firm issues it. Sterling prepares the controls and evidence.
Is SOC 1 a certification?
No. It is an attestation report issued by an independent licensed CPA firm after examining the service organisation's description and controls. Sterling prepares you for the examination but does not issue or attest the report. The report goes to clients and their auditors. A short readiness review with Sterling helps settle this early.
