Employee Benefit Plans
Although the need for an audit is a regulatory obligation for employee benefit plans, we consider the performance of an audit to be more comprehensive than a compliance engagement.
We believe that an audit provides an important accountability mechanism that will assist plan administrators in fulfilling their fiduciary responsibilities and we strive to keep our clients informed of new legislative and regulatory developments that affect qualified plans. Over the past several years, the Department of Labor (DOL) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) have issued new requirements that expand the reporting requirements and enforcement activities as well as increased monitoring of the quality of a plan’s financial statements. Under such a highly regulated and rapidly changing environment, it is important to select an auditor with experience and expertise specifically related to employee benefit plans.
We are proud to be members of the Employee Benefit Plan Audit Quality Center (EBPAQC) and believe that the benefits of this membership demonstrate our commitment to producing a quality employee benefit plan audit. The EBPAQC is a firm-based voluntary membership center designed to help CPAs meet the challenges of performing quality ERISA audits. As a member of the EBPAQC, our firm has access to various resources to provide us with timely communication of regulatory developments and technical updates.
Our audit team is staffed with professionals who possess a strong technical background in the intricacies of benefit plan audit requirements. We work closely with the plan sponsor, the plan administrator, and other service providers of the plan and conduct our audits in an efficient manner with minimal disruption of your personnel.
