Description:
Agreed-Upon Procedures (AUP) engagements are increasingly in demand as organizations seek targeted, independent verification on specific matters without the cost and scope of a full audit or review. The Canadian Standard on Related Services (CSRS) 4400 establishes the framework for these engagements, setting out the practitioner’s responsibilities, reporting requirements, and ethical considerations.
This course provides a comprehensive and practical guide to CSRS 4400, equipping practitioners with the knowledge and skills to plan, execute, and report on AUP engagements with confidence. Participants will explore the unique nature of AUPs, the roles of both practitioner and engaging party, and the importance of clear scoping and communication. The course will also highlight real-world examples, reporting challenges, and emerging applications of AUPs in areas such as compliance, due diligence, and non-financial reporting.
Through a combination of structured slides, case studies, and extended narration, this program ensures learners not only understand the standard but also know how to apply it effectively in practice.
