Entravia Editorial
SOX is most directly relevant to public companies, but PEO-administered controls (payroll, time tracking, expense, access) frequently sit inside the SOX 404 control environment for public-company clients.
Public-company buyers performing PEO due diligence typically request SOC 1 Type II reports and review payroll-control narratives in detail.
