Broadstreet Impact Services Successfully Completes First SOC 1 Audit

CHICAGO (August 28, 2024) Broadstreet Impact Services, a leading provider of fund administration, impact advisory, and fund management services for the impact investing industry, today announced that it has successfully completed its first System and Organizational Controls (SOC) 1 audit, which evaluates internal controls over data and financial reporting for third-party fund administrators.

For the 20-year-old Broadstreet, the audit helps build trust among investors, fund managers, lenders, and other stakeholders who tap the firm’s expertise to deploy impact capital to underserved communities throughout the United States.

The SOC 1 audit is particularly valuable for clients in Broadstreet’s fund administration business—a line of work launched several years ago to complement the firm’s other impact investing and advisory efforts.

“This is the first of many major milestones as we continue to scale our fund administration business,” commented Steve Petsos, Broadstreet president. “We’re building an institutional-grade infrastructure on par with the largest fund administrators in the world, and we’re putting it to use to service impact and other mission-driven fund strategies.”

“We remain committed to servicing this historically underserved subset of the private fund industry, and we are steadfast in our mission to provide the same level of trusted expertise and service that the rest of the private funds market is able to leverage.”

Chris Rakers, Managing Director

Chris Rakers, Broadstreet managing director added, “Completing our first SOC audit at an early stage in the growth of our fund administration business is a testament to our continued pursuit of excellence. We remain committed to servicing this historically underserved subset of the private fund industry, and we are steadfast in our mission to provide the same level of trusted expertise and service that the rest of the private funds market is able to leverage.”

Broadstreet’s SOC 1 report was issued by a top 10 public accounting firm. The report verifies that Broadstreet has appropriate organizational controls in place to protect the financial and client data of the companies and organizations with which it works.
