Botkeeper, a leading automated bookkeeping solution that works hand-in-hand with Accounting Firms to help grow their business, improve margins, and deliver better service to their clients by augmenting manual and tedious bookkeeping work, announced that it successfully completed an audit established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) to certify its SOC 2 Type 1 compliance for its automated bookkeeping platform.
Botkeeper’s SOC 2 Type 1 audit verifies that an independent accounting firm reviewed and tested the company’s internal controls and confirmed that they meet the AICPA’s rigorous requirements for security, availability, processing integrity, and confidentiality. Botkeeper is one of the first automated accounting solutions to achieve this accreditation.
