Agreed Upon Procedure Services in Oman

Agreed Upon Procedure Services

Agreed Upon Procedure (AUP) Services are a type of assurance service where a business and an audit professional agree on specific procedures to be performed on selected financial or non-financial data. 

This makes them highly targeted, efficient, and customized to specific business needs such as verifying financial compliance, reviewing bank statements, or validating contracts.

In Oman, AUP Services are especially valuable for companies needing focused insight without the cost or scope of a full audit. These services support transparency and compliance for regulatory filings, investor reporting, and risk management efforts. 

AUPs support contract compliance, anti-fraud checks, and AML verifications. They provide clarity and assurance for Omani businesses. This ensures trustworthy, accountable operations without added complexity.

Scope of Agreed Upon Procedure Services

Agreed Upon Procedure (AUP) Services in Oman are designed to deliver focused, objective insights into specific financial areas, helping businesses ensure accuracy, transparency, and compliance without the need for a full audit. 

Through tailored procedures such as audit reviews, financial statement reviews, and compilations, we provide clear, detailed reports that support decision-making and build stakeholder confidence.

The Agreed Upon Procedure (AUP) Process

  1. Initial Consultation & Needs Assessment: We begin by understanding your specific concerns whether it’s a regulatory deadline or stakeholder inquiry and assess how an Agreed-Upon Procedures (AUP) engagement can address your needs effectively.
  2. Defining the Agreed Procedures: In collaboration with you, we define the exact procedures to be performed. These include analytical checks and documentation steps tailored to your expectations and compliant with Oman’s regulatory standards.
  3. Execution and Fieldwork: Our team performs the agreed procedures with precision, including document examination, transaction tracing, and unbiased testing to ensure accuracy.
  4. Reporting and Findings: We provide a comprehensive report detailing factual findings without opinions, which can support internal decisions, satisfy stakeholders, or meet regulatory requirements.
  5. End-to-End Transparency: Throughout the process, MFN Auditing ensures transparency, compliance, and alignment with both international standards and Omani regulations for maximum credibility

Benefits of Agreed Upon Procedure (AUP) for Omani Businesses

Transparent Reporting

Unlike a standard AUP  audit, the AUP is designed with your business’s unique needs in mind. You choose the procedures, and the report reflects exactly what was performed and what was found, nothing more, nothing less. This personalized approach ensures transparency in every financial activity.

Compliance and Risk Reduction

With growing scrutiny in Financial Compliance Oman, AUPs help you demonstrate responsibility and diligence. By identifying specific risks and confirming regulatory steps, your business can remain compliant and avoid unnecessary penalties.

Cost-Effective and Efficient Process

Agreed Upon Procedure Services in Oman offer cost effectiveness by focusing only on what matters. Unlike comprehensive audits, which can be time-consuming and expensive, AUPs are faster and more economical, especially for SMEs or time-bound engagements. They are the ideal solution when you don’t need a full review or compilation.

Building Trust and Credibility with Stakeholders

A well-structured, agreed-upon procedures report builds confidence among stakeholders. Whether it’s investors, government bodies, or lenders, providing an independent, transparent document proves your commitment to financial clarity and accountability.
