Retirement Plan Audits Wilmington | 401k Audits - Wilmington (DE)

GET A QUOTE

Many businesses and non-profits in Wilmington and Delaware are required to conduct an annual retirement plan audit. Once a plan reaches 100 participants with a balance (known as a large plan), Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) regulations require an independent audit of plan operations and finances.

This ensures compliance with Department of Labor (DOL) and IRS rules and regulations. While the requirement isn’t new, many plan sponsors have struggled to find an audit firm that hits the “sweet spot.” Rather than a clearly communicated, deadline-driven audit based on open communication, many plan sponsors have experienced the opposite.

Not only does this create frustration, but it makes the audit process significantly more challenging and risks any non-compliance issues escalating.
