Benefit Plan Audit Compliance

401(k), 403(b), and Pension Plan Audits for ERISA Compliance

AAFCPAs ensures clients follow provisions of their plan document and ERISA standards, and identifies opportunities to reduce risks and increase the benefit to employees. We provide proactive guidance to retirement plan fiduciaries, clarify financial statements, and identify organizational and fiduciary risks. We review plan operations, compare plan activity to industry benchmarks, and provide input as appropriate on ways to improve internal processes and help clients evolve systems to handle new requirements.

We have a strong history of working successfully with clients’ third party administrators to guide clients through their initial plan audit. This collaboration, coupled with our extensive training and expertise in this specialized audit area, allows us to manage requests and reduce the administrative burden on your finance and human resource departments.

Our close and respectful working relationship with the decision makers at the IRS and DOL aids in our research of complex matters, and positively impacts the accuracy and timeliness of our solutions.
