Agreed Upon Procedures
Agreed upon procedures is another form of attest work where the CPA must be independent. The service is exactly what the name implies - we agree upon a set of procedures to apply to your transactions or other information, we perform those procedures and report to you the results. Agreed upon procedures do not result in financial statement opinions, but the cost is based on the actual procedures to be performed.

- A prospective buyer / seller may want certain assurance about company information
- A grantor may want assurance about internal controls over grant spending.
- A company may want assurance a vendor is apply proper contractual terms.
