I utilize another company to handle a type of service necessary for the operation of my licensed entity. We do not have a written agreement or contract. Do I still need to report this on P8 Schedule of Management, Services, and Other Agreements?

I utilize another company to handle a type of service necessary for the operation of my licensed entity. We do not have a written agreement or contract. Do I still need to report this on P8 Schedule of Management, Services, and Other Agreements?

Yes.  Procedure 8 requires the licensee to report all agreements “by any name” that provide management or any other type services necessary for the operation of the licensee (e.g. management, payroll, human resources, security, etc., but does not include an agreement for the rental of real property under a bona fide lease paid on a monthly or yearly basis.)  If there is no written agreement or contract, the CPA will utilize invoices or any other written documentation to report the agreement to provide services in Part 1 of Procedure 8.  Actual disbursements for those services will be reported in Part 2 of Procedure 8 according to the Procedure 8 Selection of Sample Size instructions.
