Agreed-Upon Procedures (AUP) Services

Tailored Financial Examinations Designed to Meet Your Specific Needs

At Sterling Tax & Accounting CPA, we recognize that sometimes you need precise, focused verification on specific financial areas without a full audit or review. Our Agreed-Upon Procedures (AUP) engagements provide independent, objective findings on agreed topics—giving you exactly the assurance you require.

What Are Agreed-Upon Procedures?

Agreed-Upon Procedures engagements involve performing specific procedures agreed upon between you, Sterling Tax, and any relevant stakeholders. Unlike audits or reviews, AUPs do not provide an opinion or assurance. Instead, we deliver a detailed report of findings based solely on the procedures performed.

Why Choose Agreed-Upon Procedures?
