Agreed Upon Procedures
An AUP engagement is not an audit and not a review. It is a precisely defined set of factual procedures that we agree with the client in advance — and report on without expressing an opinion. The result is a clear, independent factual report that a client, regulator, or counterparty can rely on.
WHEN IT FITS
- A specific set of facts must be verified and reported to a third party
- An audit opinion is not required — only factual findings
- Regulator, lender, or counterparty specifies their own procedures
- A transaction, arrangement, or balance needs independent verification
WHAT WE DELIVER
- Agreed procedures document
- Factual findings report (ISRS 4400)
- Evidenced working papers
- Exception and anomaly log
- Management representation letter
- Presentation to commissioning party
