Course overview
An agreed-upon procedures (AUP) engagement is a type of engagement in terms of which the auditor performs certain procedures that are agreed upon in advance. The auditor then reports his/her findings based on the successful execution of those agreed procedures.
ISRS4400 (Revised) has been amended due to the increase in demand for such engagements. Per the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA), the revised requirements and application material promote consistency in the performance of agreed-upon procedures engagements, and include enhancement relating to, among other matters, the exercise of professional judgement, compliance with independence requirements, engagement acceptance and continuance considerations, using the work of a practitioner’s expert, and greater clarity and transparency in the agreed-upon procedures report.
