The SOC 1 report examination encompasses policies, operating procedures, and controls related to financial reporting of user entities by an independent auditor, to objectively validate that the service organization meets its declared control objectives.

Banks, credit unions, and insurance companies use our ImpairmentStudio solution to automate allowance calculations, analysis, reporting, and workflow. This award-winning solution combines our credit risk data, best-in-class analytics, and impairment accounting expertise, and has been celebrated for its completeness and broad CECL automation capabilities.
