Benefit Plan Audits

Managing an employer sponsored retirement plan can be a challenging task. Not only does the company need to ensure proper processes and procedures are being followed but must also maintain compliance with both IRS and DOL regulations. As a plan grows so does the complexity of administration and ultimately the compliance regulations change. Once it crosses the threshold to “large plan” status (over 100 eligible participants) there is a requirement to undergo an annual ERISA audit.

These audits are designed to ensure plan operations are in compliance with regulations set forth in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). They are designed to test various aspects of operations, financial reporting, and administration. The findings not only ensure stakeholders with assurance the plan is in compliance with regulations, but also provides management with access to best practices and important insights.
