SOC 1 attestation in Iloilo City at a glance
When an Iloilo technohub team runs payroll, invoicing or collections for a client, the client's external auditors inherit a question: can we rely on someone else's controls? SOC 1 answers it. An independent licensed CPA firm examines the provider's control objectives and the controls designed to meet them, reporting on design at a date in a Type 1 report or on operating effectiveness over a period in Type 2, and gives its opinion. It is an attestation report, not a certificate. Sterling prepares the control descriptions, narratives and evidence from its Manila office using Effivity, and the CPA firm independently performs the examination.

SOC 1 in Iloilo City: questions clients ask
Who prepares and who issues a SOC 1 report for an Iloilo team?
The service provider, with help from advisers, prepares its control descriptions and evidence, and an independent licensed CPA firm examines them and issues the report. Sterling supports the first part only and does not issue or attest. The provider selects the CPA firm and agrees the scope.
Does an Iloilo finance-processing team need SOC 1 or SOC 2?
If its work feeds a client's financial reporting, such as payroll, billing or reconciliations, the client's auditors will usually ask for SOC 1. If the main worry is data security, SOC 2 fits better. Many teams end up needing both, so ask the client's auditors which one counts first.
