Selected Answer: B
SOC 1 Used to address internal controls that relate to a vendor’s financial reporting. It essentially looks at the quality of the vendor’s bookkeeping by disclosing its financial and accounting controls. 1. Report evaluates controls within a single point in time (a single date) and often doesn’t test controls. 2. Report is considered the ideal option because it tests control effectiveness over a period of time, thereby giving you better insight into patterns or recurring issues.

The question is asking about: "control objectives and controls that are relevant to users' internal control over financial reporting". (i.e. NOT financial reporting). Hence, shouldn't the answer be "C" ?

Selected Answer: B
I am going with "B" on this one. SOC 1 report. Evaluates how your services impact your customers’ financial reporting control environment SOC 1 matters for both financial transactions and the things that can impact financial transactions SOC 2 report is more operational and broadly related to security and governance matters. Not only does it describe how your services remain secure and how you protect the data entrusted to you, but it also notes how well your organization keeps its commitments to the same. https://www.schellman.com/blog/2016/01/what-are-service-organization-controls-soc-reports/
