To the Point - AICPA issues criteria for describing and reporting on controls over a production or manufacturing system


Overview

The AICPA has issued a set of criteria that establishes a framework for suppliers to prepare a description of a system used to manufacture, produce or distribute goods in a SOC for supply chain report.
