Description
The AICPA continues to adjust and refine existing reporting requirements and issue new reporting requirements. The most recent SOC 2 Guide also addresses cybersecurity risks while offering increased flexibility. Companies are required to use the new criteria for all SOC 2 reports whose period ends on or after December 16th, 2018. Available for use now, the new criteria will be required for reports with a period ending on or after December 16, 2018. The recent changes are significant, and require additional time and attention from the companies who issue SOC 2 reports. Given the increasingly interconnected world we live in, the AICPA is also working a guide for SOC for the vendor supply chain industry.
