Independent Audit Validates Manhattan's Computer Controls, Data Processing Controls and Lease Transactional Processing Capability

SUNNYVALE Calif., March 27, 2018 — (PRNewswire) —  Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) announced today that its Manhattan™ Integrated Workplace Management System (IWMS) has obtained a Service Organization Control (SOC 1) Type 1 attestation for its Information Technology General Computer Controls (ITGC). In addition, the data processing component of its recently launched Lease Compliance modules were also included in the attestation. These modules support the new lease accounting regulations, ASC 842 and IFRS 16, from the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The independent audit was conducted in the U.S. and UK by RSM, a leading accounting firm.

Manhattan IWMS is a modular, enterprise software solution for planning, managing and optimizing an organization's real estate portfolio. Manhattan is designed for the entire facility lifecycle to streamline processes, improve control, maximize resource utilization and help reduce total costs.

RSM conducted the SOC 1 audit of Manhattan based on the standards and guidelines set by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). The audit firm assessed written documentation of the internal cloud computing controls over financial reporting in a software-as-a-service (SaaS) environment, which can be important to the audit of a customer's financial statements.

In addition to testing ITGCs, Trimble expanded the scope of the SOC 1 testing to also include Manhattan's data processing controls over transactional processing within its Lease Compliance module.

"We recognized that many organizations are concerned about the complexity of the new FASB and IASB lease accounting standards and the significant impact they could have on their financial statements and accounting technology," said David George, general manager of Real Estate & Workplace Solutions for Trimble Buildings. "We wanted to give assurance to CFO's, financial accounting professionals and corporate real estate professionals by seeking independent validation that Manhattan meets or exceeds industry standards over ITGC, data processing and lease accounting calculation controls. It is rewarding to find that the investment and technological innovation that Trimble has put into developing an advanced lease accounting solution has been validated by a leading independent accounting and auditing firm."
