Frequently asked questions
What does Regent include in its Agreed-Upon Procedures service?
Scope includes objective and procedure design, evidence testing, factual findings report, and stakeholder coordination. The proposal confirms entities, periods and exclusions.
When should we start and what will Regent need?
Start when the obligation, transaction, notice or deadline is known. Regent will issue a focused request list beginning with objective and procedure design, entity details, records and dates.
Can we check our position before committing to the full service?
Yes. Use the AUP Scope Builder for an initial indication, then route the result to the appropriate Regent advisor.
What is a review, compilation or agreed-upon procedures engagement?
These services provide different outputs and assurance levels. An audit provides reasonable assurance; a review provides limited assurance through mainly inquiry and analytical procedures. A compilation helps present financial information but does not provide assurance. In agreed-upon procedures, the practitioner reports factual findings from procedures agreed with specified users and gives no assurance conclusion. The right service depends on the legal requirement and the user's purpose. Source: IFAC: Audit, review, compilation and agreed-upon procedures.
