An overview of EBP Audits. For companies with more than 100 participants in an employee benefit plan, having an EBP audit performed can be mandatory. But not just any Certified Public Accountant (CPA) can perform a quality EBP audit. Many simply provide it as an ancillary service, particularly as a courtesy to their corporate clients. It takes focus, dedication and experience to do the job right...and that’s exactly the way we do business at Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. (MHM). For more information, visit http://www.mhm-pc.com

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN AUDITS

2. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN AUDITS
Fairly valued plan assets. Timely
plan contributions. Properly
stated plan obligations. Accurate
benefit payments. These are all
things that the Department of
Labor (DOL) is evaluating as they
continue to regulate and monitor
employee benefit plans. After
decades of regulation, the DOL
continues to find that there are a
significant number of Employee
Benefit Plan (EBP) audits that do
not meet DOL requirements. Will
yours withstand the scrutiny?
