CYFD (Pre-K Program) Agreed Upon Procedures (AUP)

 Licensed child care providers that receive funding from the New Mexico Children, Youth & Families Department (CYFD) must submit to an annual audit to ensure that Agreed Upon Procedures (AUP) are being followed. This audit process covers not only financial concerns, but also documentation including children’s developmental assessments, employee information and background checks, and advertised availability of the program.  Because of the breadth of the required examination, it is important to select an AUP auditor such as Hinkle + Landers, PC, that has skilled and knowledgeable staff with experience in each of the elements examined.
