Why Work Directly with an In-House Licensed CPA Firm?

Many compliance consulting agencies can help you build policies, but they are legally prohibited from signing off on your final SOC 2 report. They must outsource your audit to an external firm.
SurkshaNow provides a seamless, unified experience:

01

Direct AICPA Signing Authority

Our official audits are executed and signed directly by our licensed U.S. CPA Firm entity (Precision Assurance CPA LLC) and our licensed U.S. CPA practitioners.

02

Primary Source Transparency

Our credentials are clear, primary-source verified, and fully registered across state boards—including the Delaware Division and the Montana Board of Public Accountants.

03

No Outsourcing, No Hidden Fees

Because our consulting architects and signing auditors work under a single, unified workflow, you avoid the heavy markup and scheduling delays of third-party networks.

04

Continuous Audit Collaboration

We integrate a continuous audit methodology, providing clear milestone checkpoints that reduce the standard engineering stress of a SOC 2 audit by half.

05

Fast-Track Global Cross-Mapping

We can easily map your internal control evidence to accelerate ISO 27001, FedRAMP, or India's DPDP Act 2023 certifications seamlessly.

Our Direct 4-Step SOC Audit Architecture

We guide your team through a highly structured, frictionless process designed to protect data and secure your official compliance attestation rapidly.

01 Phase 1

Readiness Assessment & Control Mapping

We baseline your live cloud infrastructure and internal processes against the AICPA Trust Services Criteria (Security, Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity, and Privacy), highlighting gaps before the official audit window begins.

02 Phase 2

Evidence Infrastructure Setup

We help your team gather, organize, and structure technical system evidence—including access control matrices, code deployment workflows, and automated vulnerability logs.

03 Phase 3

Independent Examination & Verification

Our licensed CPA auditing team performs deep-dive inspections, controls testing, and live system verification. Because we are in-house, testing cycles move at your organization's exact speed.

04 Phase 4

Formal Report Issuance & AICPA Attestation

We compile your final, comprehensive report and issue the official CPA signature. Your organization receives a validated SOC 1 or SOC 2 report ready to instantly clear vendor risk assessments.

We offer direct certification and attestation pathways across all primary corporate reporting frameworks:

SOC 2 Type I Audits

A point-in-time assessment verifying that your information security system architecture is properly designed and implemented.

SOC 2 Type II Audits

A rigorous evaluation over a sustained period (typically 3 to 12 months) proving your security controls operate consistently in practice.

SOC 1 (SSAE 18) Audits

Explicit financial internal controls reporting, designed specifically for service organizations impacting their clients' financial reporting.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Have questions about SOC audits, CPA signing authority, or timelines? Find clear, direct answers below.

Can a standard IT consultancy sign off on our final SOC 2 report?

No. Under strict AICPA regulations, only an actively licensed, independent CPA (Certified Public Accountant) or a registered CPA Firm can legally sign and issue a formal SOC 1 or SOC 2 attestation report. Non-CPA firms can only offer preparation consulting.

How can we verify SurkshaNow’s official CPA firm licensing status?

We practice absolute transparency. Our enterprise-grade audits are issued through our licensed corporate accounting entity, Precision Assurance CPA LLC (License Number: CF-0010917) via the Delaware Division of Professional Regulation, alongside our in-house licensed U.S. CPA, Jay Maru (License Number: PAC-CPAP-LIC-034066) via the Montana Board of Public Accountants.

Can we use automated compliance tools to gather evidence for our SOC 2 audit?

Yes, absolutely. Our firm natively supports integrations with modern automated compliance platforms. Automated API evidence gathering dramatically speeds up data collection, eliminates messy paper trails, and minimizes the time your engineering team spends answering auditor screenshots.

How often does our company need to undergo a SOC 2 audit?

To maintain continuous trust with enterprise procurement teams, a SOC 2 Type II report should be renewed once every calendar year. Because a Type II report only covers a specific historical window, letting more than a few months pass between audit periods creates a "coverage gap" that enterprise clients will reject.

How long does the entire SOC 2 process take from readiness assessment to final report?

For an initial Type I report, preparation and auditing usually take between 4 to 8 weeks. For a Type II report, while the testing and packaging take roughly 4 weeks, the system must collect historical evidence for the designated window—meaning the complete project lifecycle runs across a 3 to 12-month period.
