Employee Benefit Plan Audit

Generally, all employee benefit plans with 100 or more participants are required to have an audit as part of their obligation to file an annual report with the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). If your employee benefit plan is required to have an audit, it is the plan administrator’s duty to hire an independent public accountant, and to ensure that the plan has obtained a quality audit in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) and the DOL requirements.
