We expertly guide you through employee benefit plan audits by:

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.
