Employee benefit plans have become a common part of the corporate landscape along with other employee incentives and benefits, including health insurance, life insurance, paid vacation time, and more. While these programs are important to attracting and retaining employees, they often come with regulatory requirements the employer must fulfill. This is the case with employee benefit plans (401k, 403b, and pension plans). The Department of Labor (DOL) requires an annual audit for any plans with more than 100 participants. Many employers find it challenging to find an accounting firm with the credentials recommended by the DOL who can perform the audit of the plan while also providing useful insights on how to enhance operations and processes to maintain the plan efficiently.
