Identifying when an audit is needed

Generally, federal law requires employee benefit plans with 100 or more participants to have audited financial statements attached to their Form 5500 filings. Smaller plans may also need to have an audit if they do not meet certain conditions exempting them from the audit requirement. We’ll help you determine which regulations apply to your business.

Helping prepare and file the appropriate forms

We thoroughly review the details of your benefit plans to ensure appropriate IRS forms are filed on time and audit requirements (if needed) are fulfilled. Our specialists also share best practices surrounding avoidance, identification and resolution of operating deficiencies.

Providing consistency in personnel

A core group of experienced personnel perform all our benefit plan audits and compliance. These professionals stay current in this highly technical practice area by participating in various continuing education programs. In addition, we maintain the same personnel on the engagements from year to year. This approach allows us to efficiently and effectively complete the procedures with limited disturbance to our clients.
