How RKL Standardized SOC Reviews Across Its EBP Practice
Using AuditMiner SOC Toolkits to standardize SOC reviews, reduce review hours, and improve reliance decisions.
About the Client
RKL LLP performs a wide range of employee benefit plan audits, including defined contribution plans, ESOPs, health and welfare plans, and defined benefit plans.
Like many EBP audit practices, RKL wanted a more consistent approach to SOC reviews that could be applied across engagements to improve efficiency and standardize documentation.
The Challenge
Before AuditMiner, RKL completed SOC reviews in Word on an engagement-by-engagement basis. That led to delays, inconsistent documentation, and different review approaches across engagement teams.
The firm needed a standardized process that would improve consistency, streamline reviews, and support clearer reliance decisions across the practice.
The Solution
RKL implemented AuditMiner SOC Toolkits to create a more consistent SOC review process across its EBP practice. With a structured Excel workflow, built-in guidance, and faster access to SOC reviews, teams could complete reviews more efficiently while improving consistency and confidence in reliance decisions.
- Structured SOC review workflow in Excel
- Built-in example language to guide documentation
- Engagement-specific prompts guide reviews
- Faster access to SOC reviews through the SOC Store
- Clearer reliance decisions with less guesswork
It's a consistent, timely product that provides the same results for all engagement teams, is easy to understand, and leaves little room for misinterpretation regarding what audit areas are covered.
The Results
Since implementing AuditMiner SOC Toolkits, RKL has standardized SOC reviews across its EBP practice. The result is a more consistent review process, fewer review hours, faster turnaround, and greater confidence in reliance decisions across engagement teams.
