Does your employee benefit plan need an audit?
Generally, federal law requires employee benefit plans with 100 or more participants as defined by ERISA 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.
A quality audit will help protect the financial integrity of your employee benefit plan and ensure that the necessary funds will be available to pay retirement and other promised benefits to your employees. A quality audit will also will help you carry out your legal responsibility to file a complete an accurate annual return or report for your plan each year.
