WealthVest Receives SOC 2 Type II Attestation
Independent Audit Verifies WealthVest's Internal Controls and Processes
BOZEMAN, Mont., July 30, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- WealthVest, a financial services marketing and distribution firm specializing in fixed and fixed index annuities from many high-quality insurance companies, today announced that it has completed its SOC 2 Type II audit.
"The SOC 2 audit is based on the Trust Services Criteria. WealthVest has selected the security and confidentiality categories for the basis of their audit," said Joseph Kirkpatrick, President of KirkpatrickPrice. "WealthVest delivers trust-based services to their clients, and by communicating the results of this audit, their clients can be assured of their reliance on WealthVest's controls."
"Protecting our client's personal information is of utmost importance to WealthVest." said Lincoln Collins, President of WealthVest. "Our broker-dealer and bank partners are looking for robust processes to protect their client's information. With the SOC 2 audit complete, we can assure them that our controls are in place to meet their needs."
SOC 2 engagements are based on the AICPA's Trust Services Criteria. SOC 2 audit reports focus on a service organization's non-financial reporting controls as they relate to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of a system. KirkpatrickPrice's audit report verifies the suitability of the design and implementation of WealthVest's controls to meet the standards for these criteria.
SOC 2 attestation provides evidence that WealthVest has a strong commitment to deliver high quality services to its clients by demonstrating they have the necessary internal controls and processes in place.
