Risk treatment plan vs Statement of applicability
trying to understand the difference between the risk treatment plan and the statement of applicability. Shouldn’t one document show what controls need to be implemented, seems like the purpose is the same.

Please note that the statement of applicability presents a summary of which controls are necessary, the justification for their inclusions, whether they are implemented or not, and the justification for exclusions of controls from Annex A, while the risk treatment plan documents which actions are necessary to implement the security controls you need, who is responsible for them, what are the deadlines, and which resources are required.
In short, the purpose of the SoA is to describe the security profile of a company, while the purpose of the RTP is to define implementation responsibilities.
