SOC 1 Fundamentals: sample practice worksheet

Fictional practice only. Use invented details; do not enter personal, client or confidential data.
This preview is not a completed assessment, legal opinion, audit or certification.

Exercise: Practical Exercise: Outsourced Payroll
Review a fictional payroll process and an illustrative report extract. Map three risks to controls and evidence, identify customer-side checks, and draft a short list of questions for the provider.

1. Describe the fictional organisation, process or system and its scope.

2. Identify three relevant risks or obligations. For each, record a control, owner and evidence you would request.

3. List assumptions, gaps and two questions to ask before relying on the result.

4. Propose one next action and explain how you would check that it worked.

Learning takeaway: A payroll risk-control worksheet and a provider report review checklist.

This fundamentals course introduces SOC 1 reporting. A Certificate of Completion is not a SOC 1 attestation report or an auditor qualification. A SOC 1 examination requires an independent licensed CPA firm.
