Introduction

The goal of this webinar is to provide attendees with a hands-on understanding of Agreed-Upon Procedures (AUP) under ISRS 4400. By the end of the session, participants will be equipped to apply this standard in real-world scenarios, understanding not only how to tailor AUPs to fit specific client needs but also how to communicate the engagement’s limitations clearly to manage client expectations. This knowledge will help attendees carry out AUP engagements confidently and effectively, ensuring that they meet professional standards without overextending the scope. 

The session will walk attendees through the entire AUP process—from understanding client requests and setting clear engagement boundaries to documenting findings that add value for the client. The emphasis will be on making AUPs a practical tool for client engagements, where attendees feel confident in defining and reporting on precise procedures without moving into assurance territory.
