Recordkeepers

What your recordkeeper gives an auditor

Ten things decide how much of your audit is spent waiting: whether the certification is automatic, who signs it, what it covers, how to get the SOC 1, and how an auditor is let in. Here is where each recordkeeper stands on all ten.

12 of 180 rows across 18 recordkeepers are confirmed from their own published material. 1 more is material we have found and are still checking. The rest are questions we have put to them, and the pages below tell you how to ask them yourself in the meantime.

Maintained by the audit team at Ledgerline. Vendor neutral by policy: we never rank or recommend ourselves here.

Recordkeepers with a page

A recordkeeper gets a page once there is at least one thing it has actually published. The bar shows how many of the ten rows are confirmed.

Recordkeepers we are still waiting on

These 15 publish nothing at all about what they give a plan auditor. They get no page rather than an empty one, but they are named here, because an empty row is a fact about this industry and because somebody who works at one of them should be able to find it.
