Expanding SMP Services: Agreed-Upon Procedures Engagements

Agreed-Upon Procedures (AUP) engagements provide a great opportunity for small- and medium–sized practices (SMPs) to grow, and deliver a valuable client service. IFAC (The International Federation of Accountants) has released a new publication, Agreed-Upon Procedures (AUP) Engagements: A Growth and Value Opportunity. The publication describes AUP engagements, when they are appropriate, and, identifies key client benefits. It also covers examples of financial and non-financial information AUP engagements and provides six short case studies with example procedures that might be applied.
