Targeted procedures for specific needs.
AsuraTrust offers Agreed Upon Procedures (AUP) services, engagements which provide a flexible, targeted approach for addressing specific financial, operational, or compliance related questions.
Under an AUP engagement, we work with you—and, when applicable, specified third parties such as lenders or investors—to define the exact procedures to be performed. We then carry out those procedures and report our factual findings.
AUP engagements are ideal when full financial statement audits or reviews are not required, but independent verification is still needed. Common uses include testing specific account balances, validating contract compliance, confirming internal control processes, or examining agreed upon data for regulatory or stakeholder purposes. Our Firm is based in Tampa, Florida, and performs AUP engagements remotely for clients in the Tampa area and beyond.
Whether you need a specific balance tested, contract compliance validated, or agreed upon data examined for a third party, our Firm is here to help. Schedule a consultation today.

Output
Results in a practitioner’s report of factual findings — no opinion or conclusion expressed.
Who relies on agreed-upon procedures.
Owners & management
When a specific question needs an independent answer — a particular account balance, process, or calculation — agreed-upon procedures deliver focused, factual findings without a full-scope engagement.
Lenders & investors
Third parties sometimes need specific financial data independently verified — covenant calculations, borrowing bases, or key balances. An AUP engagement reports factual findings on exactly those items.
Contract & compliance parties
Royalty and license agreements, leases, franchise arrangements, and grant or regulatory programs often call for independent verification of specific terms. AUP engagements address exactly the items in question.
Findings, or an opinion.
